L'Hotelier Fitting Safety Pins
I don't see how a properly connected and pinned fitting could fail
unless the ball or socket was worn beyond specifications. My guess, with absolutely no actual information, would be that there was a material failure and something broke rather than became disconnected. It would be interesting to see pictures or read the NTSB report. Do you have more information about the crash?
