Iscaselle Saddle Steel Rail Fail

Man all of a sudden every thing on my bike is literally dropping to bits with in the space of days! Next up came on a decent townsend mountain bike, not sure if it was original or not. Unknown history, I used it for approx 2000 miles. I'm amazed what happened, whilst out on a ride I noticed when I lifted the bike up over a stile that the saddle rattled a little, checked to to see what it was as I don't recall it being loose or at least not this much and every thing seemed sound so I just thought oh it's fine, rode all the 8 mile home and put the bike away, every thing normal. Next day I went to lift the bike away from the wall to go for a ride and ping! little bent black piece of metal fell to the ground. Can't believe it fell off then and not when in use! I seem to be pretty jamy when it come to things like this. It must have snapped most of the way through at some point and held on by a little piece for a short while. So the question is would you still dare ride it as is?
