This is what I was figuring and tried to describe. You basically had a leverage situation and the bend is the fulcrum. While it is disconcerting that it happened, it seems like a freak accident. I don't know of any hardware that is 100% fail-proof. Overall, I have heard almost no other problems w/ them.

No, no, no. we’re 30… 30, three zero.
