This one busted of at the connection between the carbon tube and the metal end, wrapped up his ebrake cable ending up with no power and instantly locked rear brakes. The carbon end was frayed where it cracked, but most of the tube stayed together. Didn't cause any major damage or hurt anyone, but CF aren't necessarily super safe either.
This was an aftermarket one, though.
