Yes but could of also tested fine and it was just a poor termination?From the pic, it wouldn't have taken much for the cable to come out, as it looks like it's only had connection at the tip of the wire.

I have seen some stupid comments but that takes the biscuit.Was this your job or something?
Bit of a school boy comment wasn’t it....Thought I was back in the playgroundI have seen some stupid comments but that takes the biscuit.
Proper testing should have detected that issue.
I wouldn't agree there. To be honest inspection would be far, far more likely to pick that up than testing. If there was fortuitous contact between the conductors during testing there is no likelihood of finding that through test readings. It's possible to pick up poor contact resistance but it really depends how the two conductors are seated. If the contact is good between them (though not securely screwed together) I don't think passing 200mA through them will tell you much.Proper testing should have detected that issue.

Tug test, works every time

That is just being gullible to think all think it will be perfect. Bit like being sure the fridge light is off, when you shut the door.
