I, being the one who was pinned under the high board can tell you about the popping of those little buggers....



If one swings the pole out too forward, it bottoms out against the dolphine striker creating a fulcrum against rivets. With all that moment, they come out quick. Lesson learned, DONT let the pole hit the striker....



It should work fine...Im 6,4" 190 lbs and can solo right an I-20...



Hope this helps...
