What a shame.
Oh well, grind it out to take away any stress riser, sand it with increasing grits of wet and dry paper until smoooooth, install them on a bike, drink enough to forget what has happened and stay away from "gnarly sends".
They will still have 127.3% more metal volume than a set of Toplines.
Or install them on a cabinet door in the garage as a handle.

Truth is, it's probably a much smaller risk than "operator error" or interaction with motor-vehicles, peds or E-scooterists.I'd probably ride it to be honest.
Oh, or riding 30 year old Toplines

By the sounds of it the bike has been in road-only use for the last couple of decades so the opportunity for them to crank under extreme use has passed - now with just metal fatigue to add in to the mix!Snapped crank is less catastrophic on the road
