The headset tube looks to have a very thin wall thickness, even for steel. In the second pic it looks like a thin sheet unravelling.

Wonder if any other failures, or if just a one-off.

Keep us posted of how this plays out, and hope you got away unharmed

It was shared in an international FB group... I shared the link, so people can see that Brompton has been informed, is currently investigating, and so that individuals can check to see what's happening with the OP.

Linked, not copied. This way, as stated, people can see what's occurring for themselves. I posted this for informational/warning purposes.
