I personally check the seatpost bolts having had a bolt fail after the saddle took a knock that I didn't think had damaged it and then a couple of miles later the bolt failed(looked nasty but I was ok, broke a mudguard and the saddle got torn some more). Since then I always go for the double bolt seatposts.
If the bike has any carbon parts then check them for cracks religiously, great stuff when it's working but very brittle so when it fails it really fails but if it does post pics on broken carbon sites.
