Kevlar or aramid fibers, are a benefit due to the fact they do not shear off, but mearly bend. That is why they are used in bullet proof vests. To answer your question in regard to CF/kevlar mixed composites, then yes it is better than straight CF. But like what was said before in this post yes your major concern is will I walk again, will I live? Well yes these are in fact true, but imagine spending another 6 months going through repeated sugical proceedures due to CF splinters in your body. In my views CF is not that pretty, or valuble, as to risk the odds. It is far better to just run fiberglass, or laser printed plastic that looks like CF. If your concern is weight, there are Many other ways to lose the pounds, that are much safer!

What about carbon/kevlar hybrid composit materials?
Are they a little safer than all carbon or do they have the same danger level?
Just curious....but you did scare me a little!
