Default V2 Aero 150 Frame failure

Hi Chris-
I would at least call the manufacturer and talk with them about the broken ski. Although you are at the top of the weight range for the roller ski (maybe? does the manufacturer list a weight range in their literature?), I think that kind of failure represents a potentially dangerous weakness in the engineering, design and/or manufacture of the product that could potentially occur to other users. Perhaps someone who is not as heavy, but maybe uses them for more miles, or uses them harder (such as a very powerful, dynamic skiier). But, I'm just another rollerskiier who happens to own a pair of Aero 150s, not a lawyer, so that's definitely a personal opinion, not a legal one!

I would think (I would _hope_, anyway) that the manufacturer would appreciate hearing about the incident and collecting the information about it, for the price of a new pair of skis, rather than a lawsuit.

thankfully not having to use my rollerskis here in northern Utah, where it's snowing yet again!

Thanks for the advice. You're right and now more than a day after the
spill, I'm a bit more objective and less into 'demanding'. Sure was a
****er, though, to have my trusty Aero's crap out on me.
