It depends on speed and attitude. It's entirely possible, if a plane is flying fast enough, or in regions with strong enough wind shear, to overstress the airframe. That's why there is this thing called "maneuvering speed", it's the maximum speed you can fly where the wing will stall rather than rip off. If you fly faster than that, or if due to wind shear your airspeed suddenly finds itself above that, the airframe can fail either due to severe turbulence or just due to maximum control deflection (though the latter may be electronically limited on an Airbus, don't know about that).
