Default 94 Metro engine info requested

If you throw a timing belt at 30 MPH in the 1.0L engine will it
do any head damage like the old escorts used to do? I was getting
on an on ramp to an interstate and threw a belt as I was accelerating
from a dead stop. Needless to say the car came to a dead stop also.
How much damage did the throwing of the belt do to the heads? It still
turns over but that's about it. It's a 94 metro 1.0L with 130000 on it.
Thanks in advance.
