Thanks. I was mostly kidding with the whole 'sue them' thing. Maybe it's just the human tendency to point fingers, but something just seemed fishy to me. No unusual load, no impact, smooth road, kerBLAOW.
But you're right, it's probably just a freak accident, I've had stuff mysteriously fail on me before (and sometimes it was my own fault). So I agree, if I were in the OP's place I'd just do the warranty thing as well and thank my lucky stars I wasn't hurt any further.
But if I smashed my head on the pavement and ran over a kitten and got paralyzed from the neck down, then of course it'd be a different story.
