I did not enjoy this...
Snapping the spindle was ok, but the flying over the handlebars a second later kinda sucked. Fortunately, I landed on a grassy median.

Ooh! That sucks. What kind of pedal? You could've also ended up with a bad laceration from that broken off spindle. Glad you're ok!

Be honest...you're really just surreptitiously trying to show us all how powerful you are.

That happened to a friend of mine, and the resulting crash really jacked him up, as in unable to ride until months of post op rehab. You're very lucky, in a sense.

Over the bars and onto the grass sure beats landing on the top tube or stem, at least my son tells me this is so.

Dang your lucky you didn't land on the top bar with your bojangles breaking the fall. I would complain to the manufacturer and see if they would send you a new set. Unless if they have a warning in the manual stating not to use them after a certain amount of time.

I think I still have a couple of pair of the original Look pedals around. They probably won't break for a few thousand more miles. Shall I send them along?
