PS- I know we aren't the only team that did that, but it's nice to know we were part of the reason that rule was written.

Some(?) of the white Clippards just had manufacturing defects. In 2013 one blew up in our pit at Midwest, even before getting anywhere near fully pressurized. A piece ricocheted off my shoulder clear down the pit isle 30-40 feet! That was a fun time helping the inspectors hunt down all the pieces so they could investigate and send the stuff back for analysis.
