Which risk increased while building Inca suspension bridges across gorges using only natural fibers?

💡 Explanation

Cable failure arises with natural fibers due to creep causing progressive elongation under constant tension. Therefore, cable strength decreased over time because the time-dependent deformation accumulated rather than sudden rupture, unlike with steel cables which were unavailable to Inca engineers.
