The marketing hype specifically says its the impedance, not the power
level.

I somewhat doubt any walkie talkie antenna would be damaged by 10 W of
power. Certainly, the ones I have seen are just basically a coil of wire,
with no matching components.

I would also be a bit concerned about 10 W of RF close to my eyes - the
part of the body most likely to be damaged by high levels of RF.
