Default wing joint over-kill?

I always glass my center section of my wings, but I wonder if it is over-kill. During HIGH SPEED straight and level flight, what forces are being exerted on my wings??? Are the leading edges wanting to be pushed straight back to the tail feathers??? do high speed turns want to fold the wings. I have only had one structural failure...wing failure (nowhere near the glass joint)
