Timing belt snapped, no damage?

So the timing belt has snapped. Sad times. And today I've gone to take a look at the damage. Can't see any.
If anyone was to ask me what's the chance of no damage if the timing belt snapped I would say 0%.
I've had a borescope in each cylinder and the tops of the pistons look fine. No dents, chips, new marks.
No glitter in the oil.
The timing belt had wedged between the cam pulleys, jamming them in place.
Except from taking the valves out and seeing how bent they are is there another way to see if they are bent?
