Right well this thread was killed for no reason. Heres my 50 pence: All you people telling him to stop bitching about it breaking, I am going to pwn your ass when I see you post in angry thread complaining about broken parts. His pads shouldnt have broken and he has a right to complain. What if he was doing something really big and that happened? I tell you what, he would have been seriously injured. It not like he can just use one pad now is it? It might offer more friction then air but it sure as hell wont be enough. And yes, it was no way near a 'near death experience' but it could have been and thats the point. Oh and scopse, being hypocritical isn't cool.
