Your suggestion is one option, another is to thin the fruits so that each cluster holds fewer fruit and the branches are carying smaller load. I believe there are stories here or perhaps linked to from the forum of some varieties like Neelam holding so much fruit that branches fail under the weight of the fruit. Sweet Tart and Taralay for me have done the same thing in the past.
So sorry, that is such a shame
I have friends who make some type of dipping sauce with green mango, I hear some pickle it too. Google or look on YouTube, I bet you will find recipes and directions.
