I 'think' the safety cables are designed to work under tension, and not as much under compression. If an upper cabane tab fails (at or near the AN5 bolt) the opposite side gear spreads out under tension to the limits of the cabling. If the same side gear is moved in under a side load/compression (or maybe from bungees retracting) the opposite upper cabane tube that's now loose can go places and help break things. I think that's possible in the right conditions.
