    errr - the only polite thing i can say is :

    it would be interesting to see the mode of failure

    its hard to tell from a pic - but i predict delamination on an axix of 90 dgrees from below the chain [ horizontal ] to the axis of the bolt [ vertical ]

    Looks bent to me. Maybe it will twist and then pull out. You test, I'll run the camera. :)
