I think posting a few pictures of what chafing looks like would clarify the danger: potentially large red burn typically in the groin area, will take weeks to fully heal and be very painful. Or maybe if the hiker really pushed through the pain, it's all that, plus bleeding... Having one member of the hike, that may not be the lightest, needing to be carried for miles, or maybe hope you can get an helicopter ride... Don't hike for a day in jeans!
