Never personally used them, but I know people who do. If you hit the head, they're dead, it's that plain & simple. The damage these things do is unreal; videos don't do it justice. However, from what I see they are 1 shot heads, regardless of whether you hit or miss, because the blades break very easily.
When using them, don't forget you'll have to use a longer arrow than normal to allow proper clearance of the riser and with some set ups this could cause a spine issue. Also, from what I gather, the best way to sight them in is to hang a banana from a limb and place a very soft backstop behind it (couch, cushions, matress, etc.)........... for the record, they don't fly very well past 20 yards, so keep that in mind.
Hope this helps!!

They are a wicked broadhead . lets just say I wouldn't use these if you plan on getting your turkey mounted, unless you want a headless one . ;D Yes they do break easy, so they are a one shot wonder, they also present a problem with carrying them in the field - most guys just carry the heads separate from the arrows until they get setup. They are only good to 20 yds, and don't forget to put the plastic covers on when shooting them to aid in aerodynamic flight. I have seen first hand how these heads perform and your right the video doesn't do them justice.

I tried them once. Never got a chance to use them in hunting. I damaged each one of them practicing while tuning them.
