controlled impact =/= IRL impact
sure carbon can take more impact from the fork or wherever than any other material if you desing it that way...but crashes arent controlled and often you get impact on the middle of the chainstay which isnt beefed up as is the headtube - in that case, alu dents and carbon often fails.
