Broken BT frame
Snapped my BT 6.0 frame right off at the dropout. Had it for about 4 months.
Ended up chipping a bone in my ankle and tearing a ligament putting me out of riding for 2 months 
Contacted BT Bike and they said that they are sending me a new frame.

What were you doing when that happened? Also was there any damage to the dropout area from previous hits? Sorry to hear about your injury.

i upped 6 pallets thne went to drop off the side and it felt like the brake was jammed in the spokes so i ditched the bike. Dont think ive ever hit the dropout really..maybe scratched it once or twice. Should be just a faulty break. I think it may have been cracked for a little while before as well but i cant be sure on that.
