Replying to Bent fks brakes

Basically i released switch and it caused my brakes to bend, so that when i snap in the brakes of one side drag along the snow.

Was planning putting the boot on and standing in the ski whilst bending the brake back into the right place with a hollow metal tube.

Would anyone recommend this as a good way to fix the problem? should i heat the metal as well? should i do something completely different? any good tips to stop it happening again?

cheers!!
