Carbon shatters to (sharp) pieces, with wowen kevlar fibers in fabric the structure does not completely disappear around you in case of crash. AFAIK carbon itself is stronger fibre that kevlar. I think most flaps and ailerons are made of 100% kevlar, though not sure why. Maybe it's lighter than carbon and still strong enough? I don't know whether its lighter than carbon, but its easier to get lighter weight kevlar fabric than carbon (35 gsm vs 80gsm). Horrible stuff to work with, though.
