i've got a spare pole for the 5m bell, when it was windy i used to cable tie 2 together

the 6m is thicker than your arm so it's not going anywhere

4m i have never reinforced but the tent is smaller so is a bit more steady anyway

(i know belltent.co.uk do a thicker pole now than when i bought mine)

It does happen, and I have posted about it a few times before. Tentipi, a very expensive manufacturer had problems a year or so ago, and my 5mtr bell tent collapsed during its first pitch, not even fully erected. The company supplied a,  in their words a 'sturdier pole'. As already posted, brace it with a spare pole which can just be tied on. As long as the middle half is supported, it will be ok you don't need a full length pole.  I use a couple of king poles as I have them any way.

When I looked at my original pole, I expected it to fold in half. Under just its own weight it formed a curve not a straight verticle line. If you compress a thin stick, it will normally bend in the middle like a bow, and then snap. Which is exactly what yours mine and many others did. I assume you will now have the same pole as me, and I doubt you will have any further problems. As already mentioned, just brace it in really bad weather, and don't worry
