Seems like Low-Level aerobatics catches up with everyone.
More like composite construction catches up with everybody.

It's also a problem with sailing yachts, with composite rudders, masts and hulls failing from time to time. Inspection for damage is much more involved than looking for dents or creases in aluminum. Sadly, the consequences of composite failure are a lot more serious in aviation.
