I think they see more stress than that case. Pretty sure the top fuel guys don't just cross their fingers and hope the weld is good. Bet they NDT it. They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.

If, the welder is good the welded piece is stronger. Just because somethings broke don't mean it's throw away.
