30-40mph is extremely high speed to slide into and up over a curb.
Even drifting sideways into a curb (like fooling around in the snow or something) at ~10-15mph is going to cause some moderate-to-serious issues.
Either you're grossly overestimating the speed you slammed into the curb, or you have undetected issues.

I was coming home late at night after working about 16 hours. It was wet. I was doing about 35mph in 5th gear. The car ahead of me turned off so I was able to speed up. I wasn’t tearing around, had my guard down and was half asleep. I left it in 5th and gave it just a tad bit of throttle and the car went sideways before I woke up. It didn’t even make it 180 but I slid off and into some soft mud and even then it was enough to bend my front right lower control arm. Luckily it was only an $80 part plus an alignment of course. This was in my IS300. No way could you hit a curb at 40 and not bend something other than a rim.
