This product is described as robust, which is quite untrue and how the former revuees failede to spot what i did is beyond belief. In my consideration it could be a very dangerous peice of equipment. The handgrips on which you are supposed to push yourself up with are supported on only a peice of plastic so thin that it bends. I would have expected this to be strengthened in some way. I am 12 stone and when i tried it by pushing up it bent to an alarming degree. I'm quite sure at some stage it could snap and the odds of this are increased for most other people; who would be far heavier than me. It could result in a very serious accident, perhaps by even spearing someone. In these days of safety consciousness, im surprised Amazon has let this disaster slip through their net.
