Here are two photos of the cracked swingarm of my buddy. Did anyone else have this issue? That´s strange! Luckily he did not get injured.

It was kinda step down section. He landed not equally on both rear tires. This let the swingarm crack. The axle survived the impact but not the swingarm.

Thats not a crack. Thats a compond fracture. Thats crazy, how high up was he before he landed.
