Handlebar Failure

See other failures under 000.html.

Unknown handlebar failure:

[X]  

This may have been a crash followed by a failure rather than a failure followed by a crash; but given the context of the picture it seems likely the failure was first.

From http://cozybeehive.blogspot.com/2008/12/petition-to-bicycle-industry-on-safety.html as of 2009/01.

Appears to be a 3TTT handlebar; model unknown.

Rider was apparently seriously injured, given photograph at the above URL.

No specifics are reported.
