Riding on a broken axle is not safe. The worst fall I ever took on my bike was riding on a broken axle. I stood up to accelerate, the axle flexed and my chain slipped on the freewheel teeth. I went headfirst over the handlebar and landed on my left shoulder breaking my collarbone and also breaking 3 ribs under my armpit. I spent 3 weeks having to sleep sitting up and needing help to get out of bed. For a couple of years after that I could always tell when rain was approaching because my shoulder would ache. That is why I said in a previous post that I wouldn't even ride down my driveway on a broken axle
