Have any Clydes had firsthand experience with a carbon fiber component failure?

I was reading a thread in another forum where the OP was basically stating carbon fiber bikes will explode while you ride them and throw you to the ground. I'd never heard of that happening in a recreational rider situation.

I'd like to find out if any of our Clyde's have firsthand experience with a failing carbon fiber component during a ride? If so, what were the specifics? What part, brand, how old, how many miles, how was it ridden, was it crashed before the failure? Thanks in advance.
