It's true that we cannot know that for sure. Traditionally it was believed ACL injuries was usually a result of a one off situation/accident, but in later years there have been studies that suggest that overplaying (cumulative stress) can result in a tear/rupture in lower load situations. Gavis injury does visually appear to happen in a situation you wouldn't expect the ACL to fail so easiliy.
