  So it's all down to the wind! Who would have thought it, flying a flag on a windy day! I accept that halyards can break, that is why 1) most flag masts are fitted with two, and 2) you use a safety wire!
  If the mast uses a single halyard, which breaks, then this will cause the flag to drop under it's own weight and so the broken halyard will rise to the mast top and trap itself under the button, and then there is little to be done until a full repair can take place.
  As Jan has already pointed out to those at express towers, it's a halyard, not a lanyard!
