I think if it is in a straight line it will bend back readily, after all it was designed to go around a relatively small roller. If you can make a slight arc with it, and support it halfway down with a backer rod of 1/4" steel it would behave nicely and still have that indestructible quality we desire. I'd just plan on any support being above the highest expected curb, so that is why I picked 9" for me. I want the whole thing above a typical curb, but if you put your backing support above the curb it should survive fine.
