Reference: fail-sure vs. fail-safe

Reference information:
But even in existing overbuilt structures, the ability to detect cracking and degradation in a timely manner would provide the same sort of safety buffer that modern engines have via the Spectrographic Oil Analysis Program (SOAP). At a certain latter point in its life, thanks to a combination of use, abuse and exposure to the elements, an airframe will transition from fail-safe to fail-sure. NDIs and non-destructive tests (NDTs) can offer only a modicum of reassurance that something isn't failing sight unseen.
