Toby,

This clip is not safe. period.

You are the one who can advice the industry. Not me. We talking about this for years, nothing changed...

Nothing will.
Please start a new topic and state the problems and solutions.
Then I can send it to the industry and see what they say about it.
Maybe we can change something...at least we can try.

Dennis,

Maybe it’s time to move on from these bars, not sure how many more of these dangerous situations it’s going to take.

As everyone should know, leashes have to be attached from below, as the attached picture shows.
You have zero evidence that the leash was attached not from below in the beach video.
above or below becomes really irrelevant in many use cases where you may need this to work.
think about it, the rotator spins, the stopper ball spins too.. when it's off your hook in the water the below can quickly become above and vise versa?
Are you saying that this release bets on gravity to work? If so, the stiff PU line pretty much negates this effect.
When you grab it by a rotator during self launch/land where is up or down?
You did not like my home video where the leash is on the "wrong" side? I can make you another one...
Don't wait for my video, grab a core bar and see for yourself..

Clearly there was mistakes made at the launch.

If you make a mistake in a car you can also have an accident.

That’s logic.
Sorry but your logic here is worse then my wife's :-)

Lets retrace...
You ask me about the bar that was broken in 2 halfs (whether it was replaced)
I answer yes.
You say I should be thankful to CORE and not bashful based on this ground.
I disagree and give you a car analogy for this SPECIFIC case.. and yes when that bar broke I could have broken my legs easy - it was during a jump.
you get back with another car analogy (mistake - leading to accident)..

What does it have to do with that particular line of our conversation?
I have not made any mistakes when my bar broke in 2..

so can you elaborate on what your were trying to say?

I remember the details to what has happened to your broken bar...you again didn’t mention that you should have exchanged the depower lines when to heavy wear on it so it won’t snap.

I never said you did attach the leash wrong.
Just making people aware of not attaching it wrong!

Last warning to stop bashing, because gear can break at any time!

I had broken gear as well, didn’t bash the brands. I rather informed them and made other people aware of problems if any from their side.

Bashers and haters are not welcome on my site!

Respectful and helpful people always.

Topic locked.

Downunder: looking forward to your topic so we can try to change something.
