It's more probable that You won't hear from the folks who were injured catastrophically when the bars broke catastrophically, they are either brain dead; plain dead or can't type their keyboard.
There is really nobody to take to court. Also, none of these factories are going to start; much less publicize any kind of recall. Thus, if there are any issues, there is little to no publicity.
Just look how long it took for people to piece together that certain airbags were hurting / killing / maiming people. That was with a very high volume of sales, high profile companies.
Now think how may people actually buy a chinese carbon bar on ebay. Then whittle that down to how many actually post about it on the internet.
When one of these bars fails catastrophically it will have the highest statistical probability that its in the hands of an enthusiast penny pincher that is riding hard.
That rider is going to go down very hard in most cases. Then of course, it becomes hard to discern what part of the bike broke first.
My thoughts on this...
Lol that's what my friend said exactly about when I bought my FS wheel set. But after seeing me ride with it for a year he ended up buying two pairs.
But your right though.. If only if riders that had bad experience or injury from theses China bars, frames or wheel set, otherwise we'll only hear about the positive feedback.
