The '92 Accord EX I used to have didn't.

The 2.3L Ford Rangers I've had were "non-interference" engines. I lost a belt in one of them and it didn't damage the engine at all. I replaced the belt myself in a couple of hours.

Those are really bulletproof engines. Ford uses it as their workhorse small pickup engine and in the past it has been made in turbo and diesel versions, all were tough to kill.
