Not much chance of that. We removed the tire, before driving away from the ramp, and with the tire removed minimal weight was on the damaged carrier.
My thought was that your spare tire carrier was already broken before you got to the ramp and heard it dragging, especially when you said it had never done it before. If it was already broken, it seems possible that it could have come loose as you were driving down the road before you got to the launch. I guess it depends on how badly it was broken but I have seen stranger things happen.
