We had that happen to a car we were helping with. All it took was one hard launch, and the wheelie bars pressed up against something under the car, and it was just enough to let them bend. It wasn't anythink insanely fast, either. Breaking/bending wheelie bars doesn't require much effort given the right conditions.
