Failed while riding stationary bike. Approximately 100 hours use at estimated "low" effort by 98kgf (217 lb.) rider.

Failure at fast transition from larger diamter to smaller diamter.

Another rider at the above URL says "for these pedals (Eggbeater and Candy)... I have seen 3 cases on spindles failing among my local riding group. Replaced for free by manufacturer, but still not safe for aggressive mtb riding."
