The amount of logic jumps people commit to get to a conclusion on these threads is always hilarious. I have no idea where and how someone would land if their bike fell apart as described while riding at any speed, it's just not a situation people face enough to know what happens. Where do the front wheel and handlebars go when that happens? Where do your hands end up if you're still clutching the handlebars? Does the back of the bike pitch down forward or up backward?
I'm not trying this one at home.
