Steel Fork Failure

Steel fork failure. From http://cozybeehive.blogspot.com/2009/03/steel-fork-failure.html as of 2010/03.

Fatigue failure on a steel fork used regularly for 30 years.

Service history unknown.

A 30 year service life is more than reasonable, but the failure could have been avoided if the lug tapered gradually rather than sharply.
