He told me about a warrantee claim that was made a few months earlier over a brand new 7-series that a dad bought for his son. It was returned a few months earlier with a blown transmission. The "technician" said when he inserted the key from the car, he was able to tell that the car was moving at 70mph at full throttle when the car was shifted into reverse. He was quite proud of himself for being able to deny the warrantee claim due to abuse.
Anyway, just thought that I would share.

That whole myth about jamming a car into reverse was busted by the Mythbusters long ago:
Turns out, you can put a moving car's automatic shifter into reverse, but the transmission will actually go into neutral.

Dude was flat out lying to ya.
As to the piston hitting the injector. If they car actually spun the bearing that means one half of the bearing came out of the large end hole of the rod. That's would allow the additional piston travel.
