Actually I consider paralyzation a pretty legitimate lawsuit. which has happened in at least one incident where a carbon frame shattered at downhill speed with a rider. I am not saying every lawsuit is as legitimate but there are actually several very legitimate cases of riders being injured by carbon frame bikes that failed.
Do I care if you or anyone else buys one ? Not really and do please treat yourself if that's what you want, but at the same time I would never consider one. The technology has been around long enough at this point they should be able to build a safe bike, but the number of failures since the material has been used to make bikes belies that .
