I had a C-Record post fail on me. It gave me a real scare. I was riding quickly at about 50kph when it went. I nearly went 'out the back door' but managed to stay upright. Retrieving the post, it showed no evidence of prior damage - no marring at all. It just snapped.
A week prior to my incident, another rider from my local area had it happen to him with a Campy post. He, unfortunately impaled himself on the piece that remained in the frame. He had to have major surgery and now has to wear a colostomy bag. I did not see his seatpost and I do not know which Campagnolo model it was.
I'm a real fan of Campagnolo but it does have its faults. I would not use that seatpost.
It is your choice - best of luck,
