There were no warning signs whatsoever AND he didn't have anything attached to them either - no racks, no lights, nothing. Also the road he was descending on was newly paved so it was very smooth.

He was just descending ... and they folded on him. I saw one of the forks after the accident too ... looked just like my carbon seatpost did when it failed.
