We haven't really had an issue with these units getting irreparably damaged. I specifically am not aware of any user ports being damaged ever.
We do alert when they go offline, and we do have an agreement with Housing to bill any irreparable AP damage to the tenants. But we've never had to do it. I definitely recommend you get this agreement in place if possible. If the user ripped the light fixture off the wall and smashed it, the solution would not be to put a cage around the light fixture - ya know?
