Yesterday I was on some Northern California single track, and with the unpredictability of recent weather still had my SKS Longboards installed. Low and behold a stick got caught up in my front fender. I can happily report the safety release worked as advertised! I was going fairly slow so there was no damage to the wheel, fork, or myself and only a small crack in the fender near the mounting bracket. I was able to reconnect the fender and go about my way.
I've always thought the likelihood of this happening to be pretty low. And it probably is. But now that it has happened to me, I don't think I would want any fender without this breakaway feature. I highly endorse SKS. In light of this, I think the rainy season has ended so I've taken the fenders off till next year.
