Default xB REAR BUMPER CRUMPLING!! AHHH!

Hey hey...
So, I'm at Costco the other day, and I kneel on my bumper while loading a heavy pack of water bottles... And guess what happens? Something pushes a crack into the bumper FROM THE INSIDE. It looks like a bracket pushed through while there was weight on it (and I'm not a behemoth, either), and now there's a vertical crack/bump on my bumper. I took it to the dealer, and they basically told me the car was hit from behind and that I was a liar (Thanks, KEYES). I was RIGHT THERE when it happened, dude. Anyways, I'm really interested in knowing if anyone else out there has had this happen to them. (Bumpers should be able to withstand a little more than that....) And I've seen other xB's driving around with similar little bumps...
Thanks everyone! muah;*
