> new carbon fiber sticks breaking without much warning

I think it was an F1 article when I was reading about it, apparently carbon fiber creates a lot of small particles that when inhaled get lodged in your lungs akin to crushed asbestos .

I wonder if this is something to worry about.

In F1 the body of a bolid would literally disintegrate on impact (thus absorbing a lot of energy) so that is a lot of shattered carbon fiber in comparison to a part of a hockey stick.

Just when in contact with fire, but you are absolutely correct.
