Yes, it is.
I have this vision of a Bulgarian or Romanian teeing it up in the circle, whirling around at breakneck speed only to have the cord break just before release, and the weight breaking through the netting and flying off into the crowd. YouTube would have a field day (no pun intended).
I'm sure this happened once or twice in competition, before the invention of Kevlar.
