"and from the middle to the tower"  

I think that's where your problem came from.  I would suggest making all attachments to the tower from the top of the gin pole.  

With any amount of stretching of cables and flexing of the tower, that middle of the gin pole connection would've taken nearly the full brunt of the pulling force.
