If you are driving at high speed and hit a pot hole, curb or other obstruction in the road, it could easily snap at speed. If you engage in spirited driving the car does not stay perfectly level, this swaying of the body and consequent uneven loading of the suspension left to right could also snap such a design.

I wouldn't put one on my car, FWIW.
