from the picture it looks like the installer "ringed" the conductor (black) when he was stripping the insulation. when you put a ring in a conductor it creates a hot spot where conductors are prone to breaking. properly installed, the ug splice kit you see will survive the life of the wire. the wire you see isn't regular romex but a solid core type called uf, made for direct burial
