Limitations of Cobras (carbon fiber)?

Here and there I've heard allusions to the fact that Cobras are fragile due to their carbon fiber composition.

Is this a real limitation? Are there former Cobra owners out there who have tapped on a piton only to find their Cobra blow away as a cloud of dust? Did some unlucky bloke pull a mixed move only to have the shaft cave like a dried husk?

Or is this a comfortable way of removing an expensive object of desire from the selection pool?
