Will playing clipped audio damage speakers?

I have a track of audio (speech) that has some instances of clipping. Here's an image of the waveform of the track, with instances of clipping shown in red ( View > Show Clipping ): trackclipping.jpg I understand that clipped audio is distorted -- it is "chopped off" with loss of information, hence ...
