I was told by Robbie the previous owner of Border that it was done several times (string pulled off) , and I would assume that Sid having met him would be even more stringent in his R&D. The difference between dry firing and totally isolating one limb from another which would be the case in a string failure would again increase the energy concentration not having each limb to absorb each others energy and that is not an ideal to subject any limb to in any case. it can take just one occurrence to start a area of stress then over the course of time it progresses ML limbs are high performance they are subjected to massive internal forces each time they are shot add a flaw that may or may not have been inherent in the material structure even before your one incident to compound it. Have you been unlucky I would say you are.
