I had a weld pop on my viper the second year I had it. I was 195 lbs. at the time. It did cause the metal to bend slightly. This happened on a Saturday. I called Summit on Monday morning and explained the what happened. They were genuinally concerned, made sure I was OK, and asked when I planned on hunting next. I told them that I was heading for out of town Friday afternoon. I received the new piece on Wednesday and shipped the damaged piece back with the shipping label they provided.

Their customer service was great. I am a Lone Wolf guy now and still use the Summit in certain situations but would consider them in the future if I was in the market for a new stand; however, it is hard to beat Lone Wolf stands.

I am glad you weren't injured.
