I understand the surgical interface may be a requirement for full
integration with biology, but it seems this kind of abuse would make
obvious that a break-away design would be a wise feature.  I think it
makes more sense to degrade gracefully all the way to "no signal" than
to risk imminent death from a violent disconnect.  (Not saying that
was true of this case but in general)
