-----Original Message----- From: Peter Treby [mailto:ptreby_at_ozemail.com.au] [Note: Peter puts what I said in quotes, I'll bracket my earlier words (in quotes) and what Peter responds like this: >>>>>"my words" Peter's response<<<<<] >>>>>It would be better to talk about this subject when the real-world failure example mentioned by Steve Scherrer is better detailed, but the outline is enough to make some comments.<<<<< Failure is your word, now that Steve has provided more details, I would dispute that anything "failed" during the incident he described. In the latest version the seat apparently did slide forward but the paddler remained seated and upright. He then rolled up and pushed the seat back again. I'll wait on talking to John Dawson to determine if the spraydeck failed (came off) as Steve said, or if he was mistaken about that as well (as with "literally, up to his armpits"). *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
