Yes and no.. as you probably know the subfloor can get wet and dry out without necessarily being ruined. Tiles aren't bonded to wood subfloors, but essentially just rest on top. So, some movement can take place. Man, water damage is my worst nightmare.

Butterfingers.
I will agree with that, though. I have sacrificed more than a few things to slippery hands.
On the flipside I'd rather have a broken plate/whatever than a chipped floor. My mom has a chip in her HW floor in the kitchen due to a dropped knife/utensil. Sh*t happens. To each their own.. I'm just wary of leaky appliances. Wood is sensitive to moisture.. if it gets soaked, odds are that when it dries it's gonna bow/buckle.
THIS. Our clothes washer is also in our kitchen in addition to the closet that holds all the stuff that makes our well work. Way too many water sources that could totally destroy a hardwood floor.

Vinyl ftw.

Also, if you have a working refrigerator, what do you need ice for? aka icemakers are a silly thing

He's a simple man. Fresh air, the chores, etc.

My washer is upstairs dead center of the house it will total the place if it lets loose. My parent's had a hot water heater in the attic dead center of the house, it took out the dining room, living room and kitchen when it let loose in the middle of the night one thanksgiving.

THAT. WOULD. SUCK. I would probably totally lose it if that happened.

Our water heater is dead center in our house as well but we are a single story with crawl space. It can't cause that much havoc.

Notice I said "water heater" and not "hot water heater."
