That is caused by heat generated by a loose or coroded battery wire. The heat produced caused the lead to melt and under load explodes and breaks connection.
The best means of prevention for this matter is to occasionally after a moderate ride grasp each wire and check for high temp differences
From one to another, if higher heat is present and the terminals are tight replace that wire. Corrosion may be preasant within the wires insulation and may not be visible at the wire ends.
