The other question is how many hard landings and how much weight. Mine is a standard, but I've only bounced mine once. If it snapped near the gear bolt, it had to be hard and heavy. At least that's what you'd think.

I looks like it broke near the fuselage, not a the axle end, where heat does indeed do bad things...

Most possible is overheating during taxiing. My old velocity N29DH suffered the same accident 9 months after I sold it.
The gear inside the legs looked like the epoxy and layups had actually changed in molecular substance  .
Any Velocity where you see the tow in changed to a serious tow out is suspectable in my view..

No, at least on the first, the torsional wrap failed on Andy's
gear, rendering it a wet noodle... start at picture 2301...
(prior to winning the Linday - WOW)...

Can't tell what happened here really, except the gear leg is
laying on the ground... I'm not sure how you get that unless
you cut it in half, even without the bolt how does it come out
of the fuselage?  The main gear box is so strong, and against
the firewall... plus if you look at the other picture, the
copilot leg section is still there.  It causes me to speculate
he lost the torsional wrap, and it broke (pilot side of the
leg) after leaving the pavement and getting into that ditch,
but that's all just my guesswork...

Fixed gear failure?

This is the first I've heard of such a thing.

Did the main gear bolts fail?  Those things are massive.

I'm glad everyone's OK, but it looks like the wing got dragged
and maybe the prop... and it's the second XL/FG main gear
incident this year.  Now I'm beginning to wonder... is Dick
Harpster on the list?  Can you give us any insight?
