Avoid look keo carbon blade pedals for your own safety!! Im still hurting
Much to my horror and pain my less than a year old look keo carbon blade pedal sheared off at the axel yesterday on my commute to work. I was out of the sale peddling as normal over a small rise when it just completely sheared off. I went down at what felt like a hundred miles an hour for a tarmac sandwich.
This has damaged my best bike Canyon Ultimate CF SLX 2013, wrecked one of my shoes, bib shorts, front tyre and luckily helmet. I have emailed look telling them of the potential defect and sent them the photos. I hope they get back to me and send me some replacements, but to be fair I will be moving away from look pedals now after 7 years of using them on various bikes.
If you read this and have these pedals just be carful, I'm only 11st10lb and by no means a sprinter so it could happen to you.

It could happen to any pedal, or any component.
I'd hardly use it as grounds to change manufacturer, especially after 7 years with no issues.
Dear God, sorry to hear that. I remember a friend going down when an Ofmega crank sheared off once and it was nasty. Having a pedal go is something you really don't expect. Hope it hasn't shaken you too much and that you make a swift recovery.
