Someone sat on my ice chest, now the lid is bent and doesn't seal. Repairable?

I have a couple Coleman Xtreme 120qt coolers, and at a gathering someone used one as a chair. Googling hasn't given me much help on the subject, other than finding out that the only replacement parts they make are hinges and handles. Anyone have any ideas on flattening the lid back?
I was thinking about removing it, then heating it with heavy stuff on top and letting it cool off flat.
The cooler was only $60, so replacing may just be easier.

Maybe try drilling a hole on the inside of the lid and shooting air from a compressor in it. If it works shoot some spray foam in the lid to help with insulation.

Google gave me plenty of results of warped Yeti lids, so I'll call BS on that.

RTIC is undeniable unbendable and comes with a sporty sticker.

Yes.. one being ran over by a vehicle is the same as someone sitting on top of it... one happens on the regular, one doesnt.

Congrats. The OP has an extra $300 in the bank for these emergency warped cooler lid problems.
