(based upon available information regarding the alleged incident at the time of the evaluation): caster fork complete & caster arm only the caster stem was fractured about 3/4" from the nylock nut.The extreme abrading to the caster stem and arm would suggest that the caster pivot was loose/compromised for
some time before the fracturing.This condition would have been noticeable to the user.As the monthly check section of the owner's manual references caster function and
hardware, the likely root cause of the fracturing was improper care & maintenance.
