Do you think these dents and scratches are safe for my Stainless steel flex liner or should it be replaced?

see attached images.

thanks!

looks like it was yanked pretty hard against that steel edge! It looks pretty ugly, however if its not punctured or misshapen I would feel it would be ok.
I'm not a pro though, I'm sure one will chime in soon.
 
From the picture it looks like the integrity of the liner is fine but without a physical inspection then it's tough to say for sure. Small dents would be fine, just check to ensure no holes exist or thinning of the liner has occurred.
