So you're suggesting that only one test of this has been performed in the history of commercial aviation?
Similarly, most new aircraft designs are subjected to only one "real" wing stress test (to 150% of maximum expected stress, continued until the wing breaks). On every flight should we therefore be worried that the wings will snap off, since only one test has been performed? Of course not. A single test in the context of decades of scientific and engineering research is more than sufficient.
