Nope. That's a photo one of the instructors at welding school had. He knew that I'm a P.E. and he's a certified AWS inspector who's worked with welding engineers.
The conversation was to some extent about the wild difference in material mass. To do this well requires pre-heat and a pretty good welder, which in this case was probably done by a decent welder. It takes experience and skill to glue a hunk of steel like that clevis to such thin material. And it looks like the weld held.
Strictly the weld didn't fail but the geometry and ultimately the material of the tie point as a whole did. You can see both the front fillet and the rear flat weld both appear still intact but the connection itself has many other red flags, insufficient material, stress risers, etc.
It's just a complete craptacular design as a whole with no thought behind it as a recovery point. Not even the most common way shade tree engineers do stuff - throw a whole ton of thick material at it.
