When we survive things like this it changes our future ridding style. If we want to survive. Sure glad you are OK!
Ya know we have a tendency to trust our proven bicycle components. On our old bicycle and motorcycle components it was a normal practice to closely inspect our cables along with just about everything else on the bikes. Now days with Stainless Steel cables and lined cable housings and close fitting ferrules inspections are not as frequent, or failures.
Thanks for posting... I am going to go and inspect my cables right now...
