What I meant was there's this certain point where your going to fall anyway in an accident.. in fact, it happens pretty easily when on a bike. Now if there's an impact, wouldn't you rather it destroy just your fork rather than your fork and frame? I think you read the word "fail" as in a JRA spontaneous fail, which does happen much more often to CF than to anything else, and it is a fault that I forgot to address. But that's not what I meant.
Weight savings.. yeah, it's an insignificant difference, but it's still a difference and this is important to some people.
