To be clear, one spoke out of tension and the rest OK is unlikely. With some effort, you could true a wheel in that configuration. In that case, the low tension spoke would not be bearing a lot of load and wouldn't be that likely to fail. More likely is that many or most/all of the spokes are incorrectly tensioned (too low) if your wheel is somewhat true and spokes start to break spontaneously.
