I know Fuchs are a great, strong wheel, but this use seems to be rolling the dice a bit. I don't think there is any way to really know how safe or unsafe it is.
i think this is some good stuff. sorta like taking your 3/8th ratchet, and putting a huge cheater bar on. you are taking the original design past the point it was built up for. those are some crazy cracks. glad it all ended safely.
