Thumbs up Question for the Sikorsky engineers

Why didn't they incorporate a shear point on the lock pin? With that much tail rotor authority I'm surprised that the pin could be extracted with that much load being applied to the pin. S-58 lock pins were constantly being replaced due to pilot inattentiveness.
