What Broke My Flywheel Key?

Could a slipping blade on a pusher damage the flywheel key? I parked a 3.5 (959J02) that was running fine. Later, it was really hard to start, ran rough, and knocked. Sure enough the flywheel key is bent. Also, the blade slips enough to rotate it on the crank by hand pretty easily.

I've busted plenty of flywheel keys but never before without hitting *anything*.
