Ive heard of them twisting like Hoosier mentioned and I've personally seen them snap ears off but the splintered shaft is interesting. As if it had a seam to follow. I wonder what melling is using to make those. The ones I've seen fail didn't happen early on a fresh build either like this one, it was years and thousands of miles later.

The shaft from nightmare is a nice piece. Seems like overkill but an important part of the build.
