He doesn't have carbon fiber, all aluminum for him. Even his roadie is aluminum with carbon fork.
He rides a Stumpjumper Comp. He said he basically endo'd in the perfect storm. Flipped over and essentially threw the bike on a huge rock (very rocky course). The rear triangle is dented in about 3-4 spots and as the wrenches said there isn't really an alignment tool for pulling that. I guess the good thing is that you can replace the rear on full suspension bikes.
I really don't know how he wasn't hurt more, I volunteered at the race and they were extracting people with bloody faces and other injuries. It is a technical course. Not a lot of horrendous injuries just some blood and bruises and the EMTs were real busy.

Oh man! What a nasty fall! Glad your hubby is ok although his bike is toast. Specialized might come through with a frame. Let's hope!

I'm glad C wasn't seriously injured, but sorry to hear about the damage to his bike. Hopefully the LBS guys will be able to figure it all out soon.
