This seems most likely, I agree.I'm no metallurgist but this doesn't ring true at all to me.
It takes a lot more heat to change the molecular properties of steel than can be explained in the microseconds that the impact lasted for.
If the impact generated that much heat in an instant there'd have been nothing left.
Bear in mind that double height armcos are literally two armcos on top of each other, with a gap between, rather than a single piece of metal.
My guess is that the collision punched a hole in this gap and the survival cell acted like a wedge, forcing them apart.
