Small RC model planes often have the wings only loosely held on, such as by elastic bands, anticipating that the kids flying them will send them pinwheeling into the ground a few times while learning to operate them.

But yes, in a full size passenger aircraft I would expect the specification for wings falling off to say "avoid"

There's no situation in flight where you'd want the wings to fall off to save the airplane!
