I was playing at Inners doing jumps etc and hit the three drop offs on caddon bank pretty hard.
Am I gona die soon? Compared to something like RF Atlas AM?
Friend has then and has done the matador drop offs and Ae DH step down with them on his yeti 575... the yeti cracked first.

Just to add - im 15st on a Five with coil Lyriks.
Pedalhead - im now worried...
Just to be clear, I'm a big fan of carbon (I've got a Blur LTc), and would still happily use carbon bars. But, I would now change them after a big crash.
I've got a dodgy pair of ritchey carbon wcs bars on my mtb. Bought them for £50, think they rrp for about £120. Been to the alps twice now, and still looking good. I don't worry.
I asked my mate when he thought you should replace a set of bars, and he said you should replace them when your face hits the stem.
HTH.
Everything has a breaking point- I've seen a few big ally dh bars snap after a big off, but if your riding and not crashing you've got nothing to worry about with easton carbons-
They'll be absolutely fine. The drops at Inners are hardly big and these bars are monumentally strong.
Obviously if you smack into something very hard you should have a look but most of the time it'l be fine.
