Wouldn't a rubber boat be able to bounce off icebergs?

I'm sure I wouldn't know.

But actually, after I sent my post, I realized that many people refer to
inflatables as "rubber boats." And of course, inflatables as a class are
perfectly respectable boats.

I'm not sure if I would recommend that an individual try to build a rubber
boat, however. It seems to me that the construction might be a bit tricky.
