Thank you for the warning.
If my former husband ever comes aroung again, I am going to suggest a Hammock Hang, I will be sure to hang the hammock I will loan him, next to mine, just a little ahead of mine. Then I will be sure to damage my pole the same way you did. I am sure you see where I am going with this. Oops accidents happen.
Seriously, I would send Lei a letter letting them know what happened, it could be fatal to someone.
Whenever I purchase something new and read the warnings I always wonder how some of the listed dangers came to be included, this would be one of those crazy sounding warnings. I would not have guessed my pole part would become a missile, that could kill someone. Just like the guy that had a Stingray barb through his heart.
Does anyone know if this gentleman is still a member? Since I'm seriously considering following his instruction videos posted on youTube for converting my Leki poles this safety warning he's posted here, even though more than 4 years old ago is of enough interest that I'd like to be confident as to whether or not I should proceed with the mod. Seems from reading this and viewing the videos that the problem may have been simply an issue with the carbide tips,...am I wrong? Thanks to anyone who can shed more light on this issue for me.
Looks like his last post was 4-24-15 but you could PM him and see if he responds.
I had a similar kind of fail:
