Unhappy Help! Namwa stalk colapsing!

We have been growing bananas for several years and have just started having a problem this spring. It seems that when the stalk puts out a flower and the banana cluster is about 2-3 months old, it colapses at about 1-2 ft from the top of the stalk. It has happened to 3 of them so far. In fact, now that I think about it, it happened to one that did not have fruit on it. We thought it may have been because of a stressfull winter but this is now happening in the middle of the summer. Could we have a disease? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
