Loss of control in a perfectly serviceable airplane is more likely to be the cause and one can minimize that - although I suggest to nowhere near the risk of a wing falling off - minimizing it by training and practice is the way.
Yes: the most dangerous and most likely to fail component in any aircraft is the nut that holds the yoke / stick....... i.e. us!
