Aluminum is soft, steel is hard. Under great stress, the cranks can start to deform just slightly, and that's all it takes. That taper-fit on the old style BBs will work very well, but if it gets even slightly out of square, no amount of tightening the securing bolts will help.

I don't think the designers of these parts ever envisioned guys jumping off huge drop-offs!
