Matt, I think the scenario you describe is entirely possible, and it seems I
~maybe~ remember something about it being posted here as well. But I can't
remember which brand of slider was involved. I'm thinking it was not the
Skyking units as I would have remembered it better :)))
But then again, I forget a lot these days.
Regardless of the brand, I would consider a "no speed" tip-over breaking the
frame due to frame sliders a truly freakish event, and not something that
would dissuade me from installing them. YMMV. :) Personally, I consider
the Skyking sliders to be just as important as all my riding gear. They are
safety gear for the bike, IMHO.
