Some paddling friends told us of the events surrounding their absence from this
year's Georgian Bay symposium.  It seems they were putting the kayaks on the 
roof of their vehicle and he decided to move said vehicle while the kayaks weren't
quite tied down.  He ran over the end of the rope attached to the bow of her
ancient and venerable Tieken Sealution.  Said kayak folded quite nicely.  She
wasn't too pleased though.

PS Swift fixed it up just fine.  Rather than stretching and wrestling with the kayak
as you do with a true foldable, they just smeared it inside with epoxy and more 
glass.
