Kestrel forks

Can anyone comment on the Kestrel EMS Pro Carbon fork (700c/1"st)? I got one at a tremendous discount but have been hearing rumors I weight too much or present too much lateral load because of said weight, such that I may break it. Obviously that is not ideal. I have taken one spill because of a bad fork, I would prefer not to repeat the experience. Ima 6'4"/250#.

First impression

Contact the makers of the forks. Tell them about yourself, your weight, how you would use the bike.
Ask them if they would recommend the product for your use.
Good luck
