Being in the bike trade i'v seen a fair few broken/cracked/bent frames and you know what, it's always on high end bikes.
Well, if you make the wall thickness big enough, it's all but impossible to break a frame, and pretty hard to weld it so badly that it comes apart at the seams. High end is all about pushing the material to its limits, so it would be astonishing if the failure rate were lower
