If you fly at max allowed speed at Ca(max), even a gust cannot produce more
lift.

Just to get your numbers straightened out: The wing attachement is designed
for a maximum load of 5.3g, that equivalents in the case of an ASW20 beyond
1000kg of non lift producing parts (which are around 200 kg of mass).

Ad it's pretty clear that if you don't use a weak link, you need to watch
your speed _and_ your angle of attack.

As Bert already stated: As long as you stay within the safe speed
range, there is no way to exceed the stress limits of the glider -
simply there isn't enough lift available.

Um, must check, but am pretty sure angle of attack influences lift as
well...
