I don’t even remember it being dented in that spot. The physics of it are a mystery to me.

I think this is more metal fatigue due to time and use. This happens pretty routinely to metal handled shop brooms in my experience. I have done this with 2 or 3 of them.

In the normal use of these brooms you apply pressure from opposite directions constantly. This back and forth pressure eventually fatigues the metal.

Wooden handled ones tend to last longer.
