I think you need to consider the tremendous force placed on the
subject guy wire when the tree hits it - even before the guy
breaks, and then I would figure there would be some backlash
after it breaks, and that would be an unusual and not typical
set of forces, also. Plus the really strong wind on the tower as
this all happens. Lots of extraordinary forces in odd directions
all at once.
So would think all bets are off as to tower wind handling - there would
be all these extraordinary forces going on all of a sudden, and then
the guy wire breaks...
So I guess I can see Pete's point.
