If you are talking about the main "on/off", check that closely. Some of them are easy to trip from impact because they release, not because of overload.
We have 2 suspicions as to what caused the main "on/off" switch failure. The first is that we drew enough current in the impact to trip the breaker; the second is that the impact bent our bumper plywood back far enough to touch the red "off" switch. Looking at how skewed our bumpers are, I'm inclined to go with the second hypothesis. We'll probably be moving the location of the switch soon.
