How many times did he vault and have his pole work without snapping? **** happens, it's part of life. Take the necessary precautions, sure, but don't live in fear because of a rare occurrence or single isolated incident. Carbon bikes can potentially fail, but so can any material. Sure, it's harder to notice damage to a carbon frame than it is to an aluminum frame, but then you take into consideration how many riders downhill on carbon and don't have their bikes explode...
