This sort of thing can happen to any manufactures car. Including GM, Honda, Mercedes, Porsche and Ford. But we can all go a long way towards preventing it by doing some thinking about preflight check lists, tire pressures, proper safety equipment, and on and on.
I know a lot about what happened including the car type and drivers name, when it happened and where. None of that matters and I personally don't think its relevant to this discussion and I wouldn't divulge that information in public because I don't think it right to do so.
People will read too much into a small piece of information like the manufactures type. I have seen really good equipment put together completely wrong and I have had friggin handlebars break off my race bike right in my hand, 6061 T6 3/4 inch alum bars damn near brand new. Never did figure that one out but you can bet I went back to chrome molly 4130 steel after that.
The bottom line is, I intend no harm and only hope to get people thinking. It's winter now. How about we all have a look at wheel bearings, possible cracks in the suspension pieces and tighten up those caliper bolts.
