Carbon Bike Fork Failure Can Cause Serious Injury

An attorney friend, Mike Schafer, has an interesting blog post at his The Kentucky Accident Attorney blog about carbon bicycle fork failure. 

Apparently, carbon forks can become stressed by hitting potholes, running into a curb or normal wear and tear, which can lead to fork failure where the fork can unexpectedly break during a ride.  Given the state of many of the roads around Washington especially here in King County, that's scary.  You can imagine the type of crash which would result from a broken fork.
