One is a quill stem, the other is a threadless with a two bolt faceplate. Both are aluminum. The quill has bullhorns and is my current commuter, the faceplate has MTB flat bars.
Also, I do a lot of mountain biking, and technical dismounts (“crashing,” while letting the bike fall and sticking a landing) has become pretty intuitive, so I really don’t connect front end failure with being injured. Once you know how to fall, you don’t have to worry so much. Goes for a lot of disciplines.
