Hi Matt - because we are in a high wind situation here being a kitesurfing destination, I generally need to prop all trees with big bunches - and some of them weigh 80lbs! Because this was only a moderately sized bunch and with no warning of high winds, I was caught out! I have never had a pstem bend like this - but then I usually have the props ready because of the weight of the bunches and the high winds here.
