actually, that is not correct. The "grenade" effect you speak of is called catastrophic failure and carbon is TODAYS carbon is not prone to catastrphic failures like Carbon of days past. Head tubes do not pop off TODAYS carbon frames like a weld failure on TODAYS aluminum frame. The thing is, carbon is an evolving technology that continues to improve the furthur it gets developed and applied.
But all you carbon haters are right, we as an industry should not attempt to evolve and push limits. I say lets start making DH bikes out of steel since so many here are compairing carbon with steel...

Interbike 2008 - 2009 Norco Team DH 37.5 lbs out of the box!
You could buy a GT Fury DH bike, all carbon and weights the same for less money... sounds like Norco is hosing their customers at that price
