My buddy hit a pothole. Didn’t notice the wiggle at first, but after a few minutes he could just deattach half of his handlebar.
No one got hurt luckily. Drove it home like this, believe it or not…

No thank you
Very likely from an over tightened stem, 4-5nm isn’t as much force as you might think. Could’ve been a nasty incident, glad your buddy got lucky. Time for new bars and maybe a torque wrench.
Oh good grief. Glad you’re ok!
My front fork broke when I was a kid and I landed head into asfalt. Still have bump above my left eye. Not good
Stems and the 4 bolt cap part rarely meet when tight. If you’ve got them to touch you’ve probably deformed your handlebars.
