Splitting Rim

I've been riding my formula/Sun m14A for about a year and a half and recently noticed that the eyelets have begun to pull out form the holes slightly. The lbs said it's not a huge structural problem as eyelets aer only there to spread tension around or something along those lines. I heard some jingling inside my rim last week and removed my tires to find that it's tiny little pieces of eyelet. I have also noticed the rim has small hairline cracks (<1cm long) developing out form some spoke holes.

Bottom line: Will this lead to my death?
