If it is metal fatigue then one would think that it would bend back easily. I spent a lot of years in the industry and never had that occur.
A buddy of my brothers was over the front of an engine revving it when ablade came off he lived with a big dent in his foerhead only to commit suicide a few years later. This was before I started my apprentiship and from then to this day I never rev an engine hanging over the front.
