I read it like the bolt head popped through the chassis not pulled out the brace?

A chassis brace will only ever get affected by compression. That arm gets way more leverage placed upon it and it's always a risk running metal arms on an offroad truck.
I had a bartolone skid plate like this:
I landed badly on a jump and it rolled the car end over end with considerable force, the skid plate pushed the two front screws out of the front bulkhead and somehow in the process the chassis undernear the bulkhead bent about 5mm out of place and slightly twisted. The FLM brace, steering and bulkhead were still exactly where they should be. I bet it back into place using a very large vise and put a FID chassic brace on the front, which is far more impressive. No screws were pulled out of the FLM brace and it's entirely reusable having suffered no damage. I was impressed.

Wow ok .........Hectic! You don't think the chassis is more likely to go again in the same spot?
