[Public-list] Dismasting!

I have been following this thread with interest, I have the original Wilcox 
Crittendon open turnbuckles, which I like, still installed.

My question is, with all these rig failures and dismastings, have the 
turnbuckles themselves been implicated? All I've seen so far are shackles, 
bulkheads, and the occasional bridge.

Thanks
