From experience: you most certainly could have bent that lever with your leg if the wobble was violent enough, but I think it wouldn't be a question for you to ask us, because you'd have some kind of very obvious bruising/injury on your leg as a result. I haven't had a Tank Slapper (and frankly, i thought they could only happen at high speeds, so this is pretty terrifying to read), but I've had an incident where a car *very nearly* murdered me by splitting (yea, a car lane splitting) past me on the freeway, hitting my leg, causing my foot to catch the pavement, and slingshotting it back into my bike. My brake lever was bent at the time, too, though it was on a CBR500.
