My Spa saddle's rail snapped a while back, after about six months of being used daily with the carradice rack.
I think the rack contributed to the snapping, but I suspect that it was much more to do with the fact that I had the clamp too far forward...
however it did make me think that these kind of racks - as convenient as they are - really shouldn't be used for regular, heavy loads.

Could this extra strain lead to a fatigue crack?
Across both rails.
