you're doing it wrong. bolted in a hub and in use... you turn it left and right...
the amount of force of a person standing over it is greater than that of you turning it.
it's bent because he applied greater force by jumping on it with all his weight. and the way the steering wheel spokes are built. of course it's of cheaper quality, so it's bound to be a little damaged.
i weigh 185lbs @ 8% body fat, i guarantee i can do the same for any steering wheel that's built like that.
just look at the spokes and it's structure of how it's built. metals will bend with the right amount of pressure applied.
