Zusammenfassung:	An assembly is provided for a turbine engine. This turbine engine assembly includes a stationary structure, a rotating structure, a bearing. The rotating structure rotatable about an axis relative to the stationary structure. The bearing supports the rotating structure. The stationary structure includes a flexible bearing support and a crushable bumper. The flexible bearing support supports the bearing. The crushable bumper is arranged radially outward of and axially overlaps the flexible bearing support. The stationary structure is configured such that: the flexible bearing support is disengaged from the crushable bumper during a first mode of operation; and the flexible bearing support contacts the crushable bumper during a second mode of operation.
