Properly installed, the preforms go through the insulators in such a way that if you were to smash the insulator completely, you have the preforms linking with each other. The guy-line remains intact.

Though it may APPEAR the insulators in question are in tension, they  
are, in fact, in compression as a result of the way they are  
constructed.

The insulators are NOT the weak part of the design.
