That sort of design always strikes me as weak. For not much extra cost,
you could put in some uprights tied into the wall top and bottom, and
use these to take the torque, reducing the lateral loading on the wall
at the top.

Of course, if the wall were reinforced concrete, you'd just need to tie
the fixings into the reinforcement.
