Have found interesting video. Always thought that carbon are more prone for falling damages. After video not so sure.  |

Yeah but they never actually drop anything directly onto the carbon frame do they? As I understand it, a carbon frame is much stronger than Al, but only when stress is placed on the frame in the direction in which it's designed to be stressed. Try dropping a 60lb weight directly onto both frames and I think you'd have a very different result.
I'm not convinced that any benefits of carbon outweigh such drawbacks.

The guy's blog in which I have seen the article, ha d a fall on the carbon bike and his seat was completely destroyed but the carbon frame didn't have visibly external damages. Although he just might be lucky.
After watching video and photos with bike I am not sure about carbon fragility.
