My Giant D-Fuse seatpost snapped during today’s ride. Thankfully, I managed to avoid any impact on my asshole.

Yikes!
Goddamn. Glad you escaped injury.
That looks like an aluminum seatpost? Over-torqued or are Giant D-fuse posts prone to snapping (I seem to recall hearing that somewhere)?
It quite possibly could have been over torqued but I trust my mechanic who made an adjustment. I think it’s a shitty system tbh
Looks like it did its job and sheared at the proper spot🤙🏻
