Are mono leaf springs dangerous

[RickOTR]

Was reading an interesting article this morning concerning Mono Leaf Springs saying that they are dangerous. Needless to say, I had them on my Sport for 23 years before I replaced them with the old man emu springs due to sagging. Made a world of difference in ride quality and eliminated the nasty sagging well known to mono leafs. Question is, has anyone experienced the mono leafs breaking in two. Like to hear your thoughts on this one. Here's the article...

If they were unsafe they wouldn't be running them on 200MPH cars.

When the main leaf of a multispring pack breaks the axle shifts unless it was built with a "military wrap".

This was just posted in our Facebook group a short time ago. Multi leaf pack with a broken main spring...

Except for the sagging, I never had a problem with my monoleafs. The ARB old man emu springs came with the "military wrap" style eye so I'm confident they will provide me with may thousands of miles of use.
