Carbon fork snap

They would have snapped doing a more "sensible" move without the steerer insert anyway. It was only a matter of time...

If he'd had the insert I'm pretty certain they would have held up. Ive snapped alloy/steel steerers doing drops like that before, so its not just down to it being carbon.

Why would someone even attempt a drop off that high with carbon forks? Some people are so stupid.

To be honest that's not the time I'd expect the forks to break. Maybe with the front landing heavy but not without any direct impact. I would have expected them to go more from the likes of a hook/tap/gap to front or whatever.
