But the OP said ”no damage”.
I’ve witnessed a skewer lever getting caught in the brake rotor.
Apart from being a good effort of launching humans into orbit - when it happens on high-friction surfaces - it’s also a very efficient method of damaging brake rotors.
If an everyday handling accident can make a rotor untrue, catching a skewer lever at any sort of speed turns them crinkly.
