We commonly bend polycarb on a break to 90 degrees and have never had a failure. Not that it *can't*, of course--but thus far it hasn't.
As to the OP, we generally treat 1/8" and 1/16" polycarbonate as if it's indestructible in terms of impact damage, and it has yet to let us down.
I've been tempted to prototype a "sheet metal robot" made from poly instead of aluminum and take it to an off-season competition, just to see how well it would stand up to full gameplay. ...maybe some day.
