I imagine that if it were to brake,
it just might hold together in one piece,
don't you?:-)

I had a case involving metal fatigue several
years ago. My expert examined the failure under
high powered microscopes and determined that the
break was caused by fatigue. I still have the
blow ups of the photos he took. They look like
sophisticated Rorschach tests....kinda cool.
