Which outcome increased the risk of rope bridge failure during collapses, impacting historical Inca transit?

💡 Explanation

Localized increases in knot slippage increases risk of rope bridge failure because the redistributed load exceeds the design capacity of remaining sections, leading to progressive untangling and total failure rather than uniform stress through the bridge.
