Suicide is right...

Have you ever smelled carbon fiber burning?
My guess is that you haven't...'cause you'd be dead.
The fumes will kill ya just about immediately.
Also, like fiberglass...tiny shards of C/F don't exactly just "pop" out of you...they'd likely burst into a million tiny particles that would embed themselves in your skin and not come out.
I love C/F it looks great and is strong and light, but I wouldn't use it for much more than accents on small parts here and there.
Sure...race cars are full of the stuff, but (and I don't know about you)
I don't use my daily driver everyday and envision myself in a protective suit just to goto the groccery store to pick up some milk...

UGH! I'm ranting again.
Anyway...It is an idea and that's what this forum is for.
I've thought up some weird stuff myself and C/F is a good idea in theory, but not in practice.
