Which risk increased sharply when Inca bridge cables experienced excessive sag?

💡 Explanation

Deck twisting instability occurs because reduced cable tension lowers the torsional stiffness (torsional buckling), therefore, creating oscillations can amplify quickly. Sag is directly related to cable tension, so reduced stiffness destabilizes it, rather than directly causing anchorage or cable failures immediately.
