Which vulnerability risks catastrophic failure, specifically when early trebuchet siege engines hurled stones exceeding designed payload limits?

💡 Explanation

Frame structural collapse becomes critical because exceeding payload limits induces excessive stress exceeding material yield strength via static loading, therefore a catastrophic failure becomes inevitable, rather than component failures that could enable a controlled cease of operations.
