Carbon is strong, but it isn't very impact resistant....

Subject: [LML] Hail damage?

So earlier this year one of my friends was vectored into a hail shaft up in Canada while flying his 210.  Dented it up pretty bad.  Everything but the fuselage is being reskinned. I think the insurance claim is about $50k.
Has anyone had experience on what damage hail does to the carbon fiber airframes? One of those hangar conversations.
