Yes, it does shatter, but first it bends and deflects quite a ways, and this was the problem...we had some bolts that got into the roller when the fiberglass bar deflected too far.
the center of the three bars is 1/8" x 1" steel angle iron. The two aluminum pieces of square tubing had been straightened and then bent again.
The roller problem was mostly due to our crash diet because of a lack of a weight budget, we cut the slots to lose weight and that probably contributed the failure....that's life as a rookie team, I suppose.
Fixing this kind of damage is a nice challenge, so I'm not complaining!
