In all good fun these parts are cheap and this will always rarely happen to any of us, if you didn't know, I work on my stilts fairly regularly and practice nearly every day.. after 2 months this has happened to my Hoof Plate... The Plate ripped off both sides simultaneously! Must have been my scariest break as the spring then slipped right rough off the hoof before being slammed back into place.. (see First Piccy) ::)
And now just recently after a good year and a half this probably unseen Metal tearing has been spotted on my second set of Upper spring (Powerskip Kopfbuegel Plates) :o .. i have quickly replaced the part but please check for fractures in your metal as if you have even a hairline fracture your metal, they will do this over the Course of one session and become very serious after 2 .. (See Piccy two + three) :)
Theres nothing wrong with these parts apart from the fact they where pretty old and should have been replaced before these breaks happened.
Happy Bouncing :D
