Is your Achilles tendon more likely to snap I you lengthen your tibia or does it adapt?

I know the tendon can technically break itsmylife, but iv never heard of it being reported because its very strong.

What are the symptoms of Achilles tendon rupture?

You may notice the symptoms come on suddenly during a sporting activity or injury. You might hear a snap or feel a sudden sharp pain when the tendon is torn. The sharp pain usually settles quickly, although there may be some aching at the back of the lower leg. After the injury, the usual symptoms are:
•A flat-footed type of walk. You can walk and bear weight, but cannot push off the ground properly on the side where the tendon is ruptured

it almost sounds like the symptom polycrates talks about, I wonder if he should get his Achilles scanned to see if there is damage.

There was a girl in Beijing who was going to university in September, so she was lengthening really fast in August to meet her goal.  She was small/skinny and Dr. Peng warned her that because of this, if she kept lengthening so fast, her Achilles could break.  I think it's less of a concern for men and big people in general who have thicker Achilles tendons.
