An interesting thing; it's pretty easy to bowl a boulder into it and have it stay on the Low Bar Defense. The boulders don't pass through, but the new flaps seem to be able to hold boulders better than they can bounce them back into the Neutral Zone.

No mahor damage at KC thus far, but they seem to have a tendency to bunch up / ride the zip ties on the bar.
The boulders also sometimes get stuck in the low bar flaps if you bowl hard enough, and it makes judging HP intent when they roll a second boulder rather difficult...
