I haven't chimed in on this debate lately..... ;-)

This weekend I was wheeling with an IFS truck. We were at Paragon, and on
the Voodoo trail. On a section of trail that I have run numerous times (with
absolutely no breakage) this guy gernaded 2 CVs within 10 ft. Sure, the
Birfield is a weak point, but compared to a CV, I believe that it is a whole
lot stronger. This guy was not heavy on the go pedal, he was driving in a
straight line, and I saw no reason for them to pop like they did.

That said, I won't even get started on the J**p casualties that I saw! I
will just say that a trail that normally takes an hour tops - took us all
freaking day!
