[QUOTE="Wee Willy, post: 674290, member: 17731"] Here's an idea: if the pin holds the bag high by supporting some of the bag's weight, it would sit higher than if its full weight were supported by the top hangers alone...the design condition. This would leave some possibility the top hangers could come free under load. Plastic and metal flex under load and the result may be enough to free the top hangers. If that's what happened, the next question is why did the pin not keep the bag attached to the frame? And when did it quit working? So, where was the pin? Was it gone? With the bag? Was there any failure of the plastic around where the hole was drilled in the bag? In the metal around the hole in the frame support? Put some pictures up. W2 [/QUOTE]
