For such a light bike frame, Cavendish's Addict handled that harrowing crash rather well the other day. In fact, none of the carbon bikes involved in that crash shattered into pieces. Some may have become damaged enough to require a replacement, but none snapped in two. The designers and manufacturers are obviously getting better at producing these carbon wonderbikes.

They do need to get a handle on the wheel situation though. That's embarrassing watching those things crumble under stress.

Have I wasted this observation in here?
