Torsion bars with light pitting OK?

I just had one snap just sitting there in the yard. now I don't know if it had a scratch or nick on it since I have yet to get to that car but it sure was a surprise to me when I heard a loud noise and looked around to see what tree limb fell n my metal roof , it didn't it was the car leaning to the right.

Had the passenger side snap on a '66 Charger around '78-'79. Sounded like a m80 went off. Front end dropped right now. Scared the crap out of us. We thought it was a tire but no it was the bar. Drove it home like that. Broken edges were razor sharp as I recall.
