If your engine has not suffered any damage besides the belt and tensioner, I would say you are very lucky indeed, maybe you should by a lotto ticket. I suppose it is possible for the valves to be in such a postion where they are not fully open therefore evading the pistons.

The message from the kick inside suggests using a powerful torch to inspect the pistons for damage, he/she is referring to a flashlight not a propane or acetylene torch, just incase you were thinking of using a torch.

If you are doing the work, when the new belt is on, turn that engine over by hand at least four revolutions.

Good luck
