I wreck alot...
My fear is wrecking and damaging the bar and I don't see it. I"m hammerin down a trail and hit a rough section and snap. I had this happen on my ATV except I was in control of a 400 lb machine at 30 MPH with no steering.....

It was aluminum bars and not carbon though.
The carbon bars also look pretty dam good....
