I think that topic has come up several times already on this site over the years...

The long and short of it from memory is that the flexible stem cam was poorly placed (too shallow a placement made too hastily), and too much faith was placed on the term ‘flexible’. The subsequent fall on it caused the flexible stem to snap off at its head due that being the leverage spot rather than somewhere along its cable as it was designed for.
