The 806 is tough as hell. This was from a 25-30mph head on collision. The forks didn't snap, the steerer tube did. Usually carbon forks break at the crown.
Not that I would in any way suggest that doing tricks on a track bike makes any sense, but the fork isn't exactly fragile. It's made for road racing.
