Well, I'm not sure the OP was actually looking for a lot of speculative guessing as to the cause of the problem. Seems to me the original point was to warn folks to be aware of the possibilities and inspect your rig on a regular basis.
There are probably dozens if not hundreds of things that could have caused or contributed to the crack. Things break. The point is that we should all crawl under our rigs and look for things that "ain't" right from time to time.
Yes the point is to check your rigs first, second tell your buddy, third see if this is a bigger problem then thought.
Thanks for posting your response... Getting tired of biting my tounge from all the arm chair quarter backs and the sole damage cause when they don't know the people or the equipment. But as much as I hate to bite my tongue, I sure do enjoy people watching for those theories.
