I have a gen 2 and will only cam it by hand. Toe hooking really concerns me.
This one was set by hand according to OP. Still broke.Mine broke in the exact same spot. Ernie quickly replaced with a Gen 2. The Gen 1 should never be toe hooked and set only by hand otherwise it's just a matter of time that this will happen.
I get that. That’s also why I do it. It bites like nothing else.I know they are made well and tested I'm sure, but that is a lot of leverage pressure from tip to tip.
This makes me wonder if I should send mine in for a gen 2. Problem is, I don't want to be without a platform in the middle of the season.
That would seem to me to be an appropriate course of action. Recall them and either swap them out or reimburse.It seems to me that they should have a retrofit program set up so that Gen 1 owners can send in their platforms and have them retrofitted with the Gen 2 platform and send a mass email to all of the original buyers of the Gen 1, making that offer.

To be fair, my understanding is that they will swap it if you ask, even if it hasn't broken.Send us all new platforms. I think it is ridiculous that we have to wait for a failure before it is replaced. Or before someone is hurt

That's 100% my point. Tethrd is replacing platforms for people who ask/know. But they haven't published anything on their site, social media accounts, or sent out any email/calls to people who ordered a gen 1.
In my mind, that's extremely irresponsible. Not everyone spends their days crawling around every thread that gets posted here and knows that gen 1s break fairly regularly.
Agreed, but the decision and action shouldn't be put back on the consumer. Tethrd should be proactive.To be fair, my understanding is that they will swap it if you ask, even if it hasn't broken.
My main concern is the fact that there are folks that are still unaware that the platforms have an issue, because Tethrd has basically refused to admit that the gen 1 was a mistake. They've maintained that it breaks due to misuse such as toe hooking.

Again, "didn't know" continues to be the issue that concerns me. This should have long since been wrapped up.I did not know they would swap it
