Oh for sure. (The person in that video is not me.) Putting all that weight on the rotor like the guy is doing in that video is certain to bend the rotor. Why wasn't he just working on the other side? You're not putting irons near the rotor, so who cares? Who knows what he was thinking...

Regardless, it's a sound tactic to break a bead when other options have failed, or when you have *just* spoons available.
