The brackets take up all the up/down forces, while the shear strength of the pin holds the bumpers on. So the bumper mount is invincible, but they go on and off in a matter of seconds.

And I can't quite figure out how something can be figuratively painful...
What kind of quick release did you use was it one of the "D" ring quick release or was it a butterfly pin holding it in place?
