Snapped handlebar

These bars were probably 25 years old and I guess that the tiny grooves in the bar where it was rotated into the stem acted as stress risers. Needless to say the consequences were sudden and painful. Can't remember much about it but at least it happened at about 15mph and not 45 mph. No cycling for me during the rest of bike week :-( I'll be nursing my injuries for a little while yet.
