Yes
Something hit my lens today, luckily I had a skylight filter on...

Well, a broken filter is cheaper to replace than a lens!
 
Well, whilst photographing a flower, my tripod broke leg broke, so it fell about 40cm onto a tiny stone! So technically I'm lying when I say something hit it, but it makes me sound less stupid! :P
 
Lucky escape, could have been more than a broken filter.
 
Now, this is why I buy filters :) - That, and to stop people putting their grubby fingers on my lens. I'm much more confident cleaning a £30 Hoya Pro filter than a £500 lens :)
 
Yeah I use Hoya Pro too, for two reasons.

1) The reason illustrated by this topic.
2) It completes the weather sealing on my lens, and I KNOW that one day someone in a club is just gonna spill a whole drink all over it.
 
Q: What hit it?
A: The floor.

I agree with you with experience mate, I killed my shiney new polariser like this a couple of months ago.
 
Filters have saved two of my lenses.. Better an expensive filter than a very much more expensive lens
