The floor metal around the handbrake lever attachment point ripped completely, eventually. Try pulling on a tensioned cable when both ends of your lever can move freely...
I have never seen this before, and was quite surprised. I did use the handbrake a lot, but never yanked on it, always just gently pulled it up until it clicks a few times, though more often, I'd pull it up with the button pushed in and just judge by resistance.
The shop is right, the carpet needs to come up and the floor rewelded/reinforced. I can't remember offhand how much labor I was charged, but I want to say it was about two hours labor.
