I have experienced two broken moorings. Both were over 10 years ago. One failure was a BEYC ball and the other a NPS day ball. Moor secure who handles the majority of overnight balls including boatyball does a good job. The BEYC maintains their own balls. Most damaged balls I have noted were run over by boats. That usually can be detected by a surface inspection. Be aware a ball with no pennant usually means a below water problem has been detected and the ball removed from service.
