I mean you can see how when I first started using it a couple of years ago the bolt that holds the moving arm to the lower beam (with the black thumbscrew on it) made a mark in one spot. As it's bent gradually over time with each use that mark has moved a mm or two to the right, eventually creating a line along the lower beam where the bolt clamps down on it. If it was a miss-use of the stand (that caused a sudden bend) then that mark would suddenly jump place along the beam rather than creating an even steady line along it over time.
It would take a hell of a lot of force to bend it the amount it was out by in one go from mis-using it! Trying to get it back into shape was impossible. Even in a fully kitted out fabricators workshop with heavy machinery they had to put a slit in the weld to weaken it to be able to bend it back and then reweld it.
