I have a better shot of the t case skid that collapsed...it does have ridges (Sides), but no fluting in the middle, and is flat where it attaches to the cross members:



So, it was reinforced on the sides with a bend up to form the side itself, albeit collapsed anyway...just not as bad as it would have w/o any bends.
