Bret, when a fork leg breaks off you go face first into the street. If it

dumbass,

i've never seen a steel fork "bend" while riding, that just doesn't
happen.

ive seen a steel fork break at the steerer while the rider was just
riding along. i've also seen a carbon cross fork fail this way.

I had a steel fork leg break at the joint with the crown. The brake
started rubbing so I stopped to adjust it. As soon as it was unweighted
the fork leg rotated to the ground.
