Can you post some info to support this?
2 Cessna 210 aircraft have "broken up" recently from my memory - as well as many in the long past (many had struts).
My info recalls one had a crack & could have been from a corrosion point - ALL 210 and similar aircraft had VERY DETAILED inspections. 68 Carry thru were removed from service AND all other after NDT deemed SAFE as per the manufacturer.
Again you need to supply your "aging aircraft breaking up" it is NOT HAPPENING.
