iMovie isn't destructive either unless you specifically tell it to 
empty the trash. At that point it does give a warning that emptying the 
trash cannot be undone. Otherwise, the original files remain untouched 
by cutting up clips.

The caveat is that if you trash an entire clip (or all parts of a clip 
that's been cut to pieces), it will be deleted completely, without 
warning, when you save the project. -Doesn't make sense to me either.

On second thought, maybe this is what you were referring to?
