Did the manufacturer provide an explanation? A sheer (which that looks like) should be near impossible on any properly manufactured bicycle under normal usage.

No. I got a full refund, though. Most importantly, I'm so extremely happy I'm still alive, I don't care about anything else.

I wouldn’t view that as an indictment of a particular material.

That’s like first generation carbon failure and those went away 20 years ago. I’d blame the manufacturer specifically in that case because it’s both catastrophic & unexpected.
