This is a post from the Cozy Beehive discussing a specific bike crash and a potential carbon fork failure.
Safety Moment : Crashing Into Pine Needles
Lets get no illusions about our sport.It can get dangerous. Losing just a moment's worth of concentration may be enough to unseat you off your saddle smack into danger.Our second safety moment for the year is Liz Hatch's latest injury report on her blog. As it turns out, she was enjoying the breeze on a fast downhill in a fundraiser ride for the Women's Tour of California Criterium when she approached a corner full of pine needles at more speed than was actually safe. She rode right into the guardrail at 45K and landed face first into the area of needles. Thankfully, she made it but the bike was sheared off at the fork on impact.
