Most carbon forks are fine. I'd stay away from a carbon fork with a carbon steer tube on a cross bike. Carbon seatposts are usually fine, too, but a pita because they frequently slip, especially seatposts with carbon clamps. But carbon bars and stems take a lot of stress during riding, and each time the bike falls/gets dropped, we're compromising the integrity of the component.

Glad you're okay.
