PSI Parts Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 When you get into a crash, the carbon can shatter and do more damage if u hit someone. I think there are a couple carbon fibre bonnets that are ADR'd which might involve them being laminated so when an object hits them they don't fragment into little ninja stars cf gets nasty. when have a head-on it splinters into little javelins travelling a squillion k's an hour in every direction. bad. Not sure where you guys are getting your information from, but carbon fibre is not a mythical fabric weave that all of sudden destroys anything in its path when it breaks. The actual carbon fibre itself does not do any damage, its more often the clear coat on top that has stuck to the carbon which will cause minor splintoring. Depending on the construction type (I'm assuming wet lay-up which most carbon items like hoods and bootlids are made from) will have the same properties as fibreglass when it's crushed or hit with force. You also need to consider that almost all hoods on today's market are not really made entirely of carbon fibre. They are a fibreglass skeleton with only a single layer of carbon on the top. You should also remember that all of the top motorsport categories like F1 and high end sports cars use carbon fibre (or a carbon/kevlar mix) to construct their chassis.

No it doesn't shatter and turn into little tiny javelins. Having broken carbon items myself I can tell you that this really is a myth. Also helmets come under the Australian Standard (AS/NZS1698) not ADR.
