A load path status detection system comprising a primary fastener, a load sensor, a primary structural link, and a secondary structural link. The primary fastener extends through the primary structural link. The load sensor is associated with the primary structural link. The primary structural link carries a load when a primary load path, formed by the primary fastener and the primary structural link, is functioning. The secondary structural link is parallel to the primary structural link, wherein the secondary structural link does not carry a load when the primary load path is functioning.
