I really can't figure this one out. I'd like to see a pic of the fan. I have that same fan on my truck and it's made of heavy steel. Also, the blades aren't flat so that would add strength from bending. It would have to flatten out where it's bent or either the curved section would have to tear. I would bet that the force of the air it was pulling would not be enough to bend it so I think the only possibility was that something interfered with it while it was running, or it had been bent and straightened before.
