As can be seen (I think), the crank pulley is not completely protected, i.e. the opening at the bottom of Item 5, the lower toothed belt cover.
The I5 lower cover is the same, but it butts up against the casting that protrudes from the bottom of the oil pump - the crank pulley is in fact totally enclosed.
Unlikely, but id does happen. A rock maybe not, but my alternator belt went (mis aligned alternator), it took out the pas belt which then took out the Timing belt. 100% guaranteed this is what happened.

Maybe but "totally" is < 100%. Shredded serpentine belts *have* taken "totally enclosed" AAN cam belts out. There is a chink in the armour somewhere down there.
