What I suggested in my post above was stems and or bars with any kind of problem should be taken out of service or better yet discarded so that some unsuspecting soul in the future couldn't put them back to use...
That very small cross section of metal is all that keeps the bars and stem connected!
The human skull is like a cantaloupe - think about it...
