park sang joonI'd like to know here "gave" implies "gave way."It depends on what you think 'gave way' means. If you think it means 'withdraw or retreat', then you'd be wrong. 'Gave' itself does not imply anything else; it has its own meaning:
GIVE 37. to collapse; break down; fall apart; fail: The antique chair gave when I sat on it.
