Joe, you shouldn't try and make judgements about stuff you don't know
anything about.

WHY DID THE TRACK COME LOOSE?

Because it was just screwed into the fiberglass, rather than thru-bolted

Because it's heavy & boxy, without an efficient lateral plane.


Did you thank the novice for saving your ass?


In somewhat less crude terms, yes.
