I dropped it a million times. The last time I dropped it onto soft turf and the posts finally popped. But it's really all my fault, I have a pound of counterweights on the cuff end, and I have a custom brain box mount tube, so it's not the same as factory set up. But still, the plastic is not tough enough, and the design is not robust enough, in my opinion. But I love the frikkin thing and I will keep on using it until it craps out for good.
