Masters Reverse Avalanche

A bent tube can also indicate <gasp> pilot error... like the time I did
a 45 down snap ... at full throttle... bent both sides of the brand new
anodized tube... and I'm pretty sure I thanked Bob Pastorello for the
great building job he did on that EMC's wings...

Maybe I'm missing something, but a bent wing tube isn't a building 
deficiency, it means the tube needs to be stronger.
