Thanks for that info. A great example of the importance of correctly calculating moments and angular tension when determining how much stress parts will bear. The increase can be surprisingly dramatic with what seems to be minor alterations to the placement of lift points and the angle of suspension. Physics instructors should use this case in the classroom.

That's insane. I take it a structural engineer was not onsite to check the fasteners before placement.
