Must be frequent to get an official notice. I have 2 different types of same failure.

One has straps and pins , straps cut at exist from pad platform. Always an exciting moment when one foot breaks loose at sudden load moment

The other hardware inserts just pulls out of water soaked wood core

Neither end gracefully despite backed with scads of talent. Good'ol time and pressure. You can't leave home without it . Thanks Sam
