You bet. Breaks right in half under the pressure of the steam cat. Evidently (the guys who have actually served on the deck can REALLY tell us) the brakes are gently released on the a/c, power comes up-- and the tension bar is able to hold all of that back.
Then the steam cat kicks in and WHAM shears this metal bar like a candy cane.
