As a sailor that uses similar fittings in sailboat rigging… the idea of not treating a cable pullout from a terminal as an emergency is absurd. If that happened on a sailboat rig I’d assume it had a remaining strength of zero and will fall in seconds or less- and take the most rapid possible action to keep the structure from coming down by deloading the shroud and rigging an emergency replacement.
