Which risk increases when a Roman fort's palisade thins?

💡 Explanation

Increased effectiveness of siege rams occurs because impact force bypasses the original defense due to reduced wood available. The bending under applied loads experiences increased deflection; therefore, the fort's palisade is bypassed rather than distributing impact.
