    Dome on the ground, not broken, = Brother @JRWhitee. I may never witness such an sphincter tightening moment as that, the rest of my life.
    Bottom Line. Finesse, and very well played. No blood, no foul. Although a collective breath had been held, leading to a group "Whoa" for damned sure.
    One of the crazier things I've seen. I'm standing on the ground next to the trailer and I watch the dome come out of the bands. This thing does a double gainer with a twist. It falls perfectly between the edge of the trailer and a table. A couple inches in any direction and that dome is toast. It lands literally 6" away from my feet unscathed with the exception of the thermo.

    I didn't even notice the thermo, was it toast?

    The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out.

    It was not lost on me, how everybody went back and checked their bands that night, "just in case." I KNOW I did.

    There was one forum member who will remain nameless that had very suspect mini max bands at the lake.  The band was below the felt line.

    Be meticulous when assembling your egg less you befall the tragic consequences of your dome slipping out of its brackets and shattering on the patio.
