Anybody got or seen a broken carbon frame?

[Globalti]

There's so much correspondence about the strength of carbon frames (example: "Should I tow a bob with carbon?" in the touring forum) that maybe it's time somebody actually tried to destroy one?

There used to be a graphic on the Easton site comparing the strength of carbon bars with ali bars - dunno if i's still there. I've searched on You Tube but can't find much. Anybody ever broken carbon by sheer clean stress rather than a small localised trauma?

here take a look at this racing from the same island i live in across the border, carbon is very strong and takes alot to break which shows you the force and impact of the crash in a bunch sprint. take alook at that go to the bottom and check out that for a snaped frame. http://www.irishcycling.com/publish/news/art_4670.shtml
