Anyone know if pistons clash with valves when the belt lets go?

146 16v twin spark.

Sorry for the speeeling fopar.
Workmate came in and said his belt had gone and wanted to know what the damage would be hence the question.
So bad news for him then.
Thanks

Report back from the mechanic is....
No teeth on the belt.
All bar 2 inlet valves bent.
3 exhaust valves bent.
Most of the spark plugs damaged. (Don’t know how that works).
No other damage to head or pistons apart from the inevitable bruises.
£800.

Thanks for the help guys.
