This is incredibly uncommon.

While horrifying for your friend, it's very low on the list of the risks that come with bikes.

I don’t know how common it is, but why would you take that risk on the road for a couple kg of weight savings? If you’re racing competitively that’s one thing, but is it worth it on the commute?

It might be less uncommon than you think. https://www.outsideonline.com/outdoor-gear/bikes-and-biking/...
