So it appears the end loop crimp failed for whatever reason. It's a risk with any suspended fixture off a single wire, though you can somewhat alleviate a catastrophic failure by utilizing more hanging kit leads (ie. doubling up the suspension cables).
I know in hanging my 300w blackbox, the ~15 or so lbs off of two wires has left me not feeling the greatest about it, long term. I'll always prefer a direct mount bracket style installation, though it will be much costlier than a simple crimped wire.
