It won't necessarily break when you crash, either. It's not load forces that break carbon, that's a really common misconception. It's not at all 'brittle' or 'weak'. But it's suceptible to sharp, direct impacts like hitting it with a hammer or dropping it on concrete, which will crack it and cause it to *become* brittle and weak.
