I am still a little confused. I would have put up each picture with a description of what we we supposed to be looking at. I am still not sure what you refer to as a collapsed plate. Maybe I'm just slow.
Look at his 3rd and 4th pics above. The black SSQA plate has failed. The top angled edge portion has folded forward. Maybe as much as 5-6". Enough that it allowed the attachment to fall off.
It's a design flaw in my opinion. Too much vertical distance from that angled edge down to the cylinder pins. Tremendous leverage. Too light of construction.
