I found this article to be deceptive and disingenuous. The author is trying to associate the manner in which carbon fails with increasing frequency and severity of accidents in pro racing. And then to somehow extend this to an increased risk to everyday riders. I don't think there is a shred of data to back this up. Carbon bikes aren't the cause of crashing nor do they increase the consequences. They may not survive crashes as well and may have to replaced more often after a crash, but this is an economic and logistics issue, not a safety issue.
