Wow!  I must say that I have hit my bumper on my wolfie at substantial speeds, ie a fast walk, and I was surprised by the little damage was done.  Only the
black line on the bumper seems to be harmed, it has tiny spider web craks the width of the steel pole, but most wouldn't even notice.  That's strange that
yours were damaged so easily?  Huh?

have fun,
ADAM
