Normally the air filter prevents any sand getting through to the engine.

Maybe your buddy need gas, used it and replaced it without knowing it was supposed to be premixed
I've drowned numerous bikes and got away with it.

I've also seen a few pumpkins take a lung full of slop through the filter and fail to finish the ride. One on pull down had worn the rings so far out of spec they wouldn't even hold themselves in the cylinder anymore.

Lots of variables involved.
