LMD, if you take any commercial passenger aircraft, give a hard rudder turn to one side then to the opposite side, the rudder/fin will almost certainly come off presto... the system is simply not designed for that type of manouvre since it is only tested for one full rudder deflection to one side and then restoring a neutral rudder input.
If you had followed NTSB and other reccomendations after the A300 crash at Queens,you would have seen that they are basically aimed to retrain crew to understand this concept (above) rather than find anything wrong with the aircraft.
