i didn't know what u were talking about until i found this pic:

You can really see that here; but wow.., i guess it could be either/or.  Obviously you run into compromises with such a big project, but you would think they'd at least try to box that corner in. Well at least nobody got hurt. Hopefully they had some lessons learned before they build another one for an actual customer.

 If I had to put my money somewhere I think it would be on the cantilever mounts. They just scream "break me, break me."

 I actually just watched the whole video where it shows the breakage....it looks like it is the shock bolts that failed. Unless the cantilever piece failed and then the broken off shock mount slammed into the rear end which then broke the shock bolts. Better pictures of the aftermath would be cool to see.
