Seems odd.
Regardless if there was little damage to the aircraft, the cost to repair an EMAS bed, from what I've heard, is very expensive.
600 ft of EMAS is used to prevent overruns on either end of runway 10R/28L at FLL.
The photo below was taken from NE 7th Ave, courtesy of Google Maps, looking up at the EMAS extension on the far east end of FLL's new south runway. The dimensions of the safety area in the photo are approximately 600 ft Long X 500 ft Wide X 55 ft High from grade level.
It's designed to stop a maximum gross weight B-777-200 from going over the edge with an EMAS entry speed of 70 kts.
