Handlebars damaged after curb collision?

Moin municipality, I came up against the right kerb in a bend the other day… I don’t know how fast that was anymore; definitely with more than 15 km/h. I was already in the workshop, the nice gentleman said that both handlebars were damaged. Is that plausible? Admittedly, I don’t know about car mechanics; would be cool if you could give feedback! LG
