I'm surprised that CNC machines don't have some sort of strain gauge type of set up for shutting the machine down automatically. Maybe some do - I don't know...
Funny you should mention that. I just recently watched a video series from Keith Fenner showing how he built a new top for a steady rest that looked like it suffered the same fate.
Which I shouldn't have watched, because now it makes me want to make a set of rollers for mine.
