Not if you extend the baton with some authori-tah when bringing it to bear. You can jab a person in the solar plexus or throat good and hard, no problem. I've dented 2x4 fence posts practicing that maneuver.

If you open in correctly, collapsing it back involves holding it tip-down and ramming it with a smooth, forceful motion onto a hard surface, preferably paved.
