ouch... hope no carbon fibre shards got into your body... if they did, you're going to die, you know that don't you?

This serves to further compound my fear of carbon components...

I wouldve thought it would break in the other direction, as seatposts point backwards slightly..

It actually slipped the length of the letter 'c' on the post and cracked round the back, inline with the seatclamp.

so you've compounded the snap for dramatic effect? it was just a crack to start with?

when a bloke who worked in the f1 industry but now works in the bike industry says carbon fibre should NOT EVER be used for bikes, that is good enough for me.

That busted carbon site is great. I love the way it gets all hysterical about broken things that have been damaged after being hit by cars, or run over by trucks, or entries like: "Look at this seatpost after being sat on by an Elephant...you won't find me buying carbon, no siree..."
Stuff breaks...
