You break a carbon frame and you look at what's left and it does seemingly make you question how you are riding them without worrying about it.
But then if you saw one of those cut in half CAAD frames or something years ago you wondered about it with aluminum too.
The carbon frame I broke the top tube was like a piece of paper thin. 100% of the strength was all in the shape, once it was broken it was like 2 fingers could bend it.
The fork on the other hand is completely different.
