Last night during our ride after a wheel touch she veered off across the center line and hit a car. this was in a neighborhood, and fortunately the car was able to brake, but she still hit it head on.

Carbon frame exploded. The tubes busted at every lug except down the seattube. I'm guessing this helped absorb the impact shock. Helmet pressed into her forehead as she hit the hood, but she stood right up and walked away. Dented and bruised, but OK. Not sure a steel frame would have been so forgiving for her.

Everyone be safe out there!
