Only £390!!! Any takers? Which market are these aimed at?

You would think that at that price someone would have checked the advert - I mean 'roots' - really.
I don't like them. I would somehow manage to stab myself with the pointy bit.
For anyone with free jumps or similar, are these things tested with a weight limit? I'd never buy them as would be terrified they'd snap! Surely landing off an all mighty jump or being thrown into the air would bring you back down into your stirrups at a greater force than your weight. If your landing in a stirrup from nearly falling off you would want them to be able to hold at least your whole weight plus the extra for the downforce. Is there any testing been done? I'd love to see the figures
Do you have a link for that?I have Freejumps, and did loads of research before I bought them. They have been tested to 1200 megapascals, which for old fogeys like me is 25062521 pounds/ square foot. ( according to google ��.
So they should easily hold the weight of someone cantering along- I really hope you sent yours back and they found a fault with them�� I'm planning on using mine BE!
Another innovation for all the gear and no idea market with an interchangeable trim to sucker in the matchy-matchies.
