It'd be a huge coincidence if the wing just happened to fall off just as the rockets were fired. It probably hit the wing or the engine before being armed, so it didn't go off but still knocked something loose.

On the other hand, like you said, hard turns in a plane that's 200% over it's lifetime flight hours may be the problem too.
