Poles are constrained by their connection; the bolts are constrained by their connection. Both can become projectiles if the connection fails.

If a 1/8s bolt comes loose or a 1/8s pole comes loose, I doubt it'll really matter which one it is; both would be equally as dangerous. Maybe the pole more so just for the size of it.
