Which risk increases greatly in Inca suspension bridges when quipu knot integrity degrades?

💡 Explanation

Catastrophic cable collapse occurrence increases when the quipu used to monitor cable tension loses knot integrity causing load imbalances; load transfer through controlled tension is lost because knot slippage increases stress unevenly, therefore accelerating failure onset instead of even weight distribution.
