Possible Speaker Damage cause by Vinyl?


My first post, here goes:

I was playing a record rather louder than normal listening level (11:00 on volume dial). After the song was over I went to cue UP the arm and I forgot to turn the volume down and obviously heard a loud "thump" sound. The woofers jumped a bit, not extrme, extreme excersion but they sure did move. Can this cause machanical damage to the speaker at all? I'm thinking the speaker can handle such a thing but just out of pure paranoia, I want to make sure with you guys.

Thanks for any help,

Voice Coils I thought can only be harmed by Thermal overload, ie, an amplifier clipping. Correct me if I'm wrong but to harm a voice coil would need heat for long periods of time.
