A good analogy I heard for it is it's kind of like having a piece of aluminium (your carbon) and trying to reinforce it with a rubber band (your fibreglass). If you take that structure and bend it, the rubber band will bend significantly further than the aluminium but it isn't doing anything to prevent the aluminium from bending. 


It totally makes sense!
But then, what is the purpose of carbon/Kevlar fabric?
