Re: Ramp crashing down

You know, I hadn't thought of that. One thing to consider is that the carpet probably dampens the motion a teeny bit; We decided to "let gravity do the work" on ours based on the fact that we thought they would survive the fall, but I hadn't considered the refs' point of view. How else besides gas springs have people been slowing the fall of their ramps? Anything especially low tech/lightweight?

Also, I haven't been spending as much time as I'd like on cd the past few days and I know a lot of videos have gone up. If anybody knows of any videos showing ramps actually being deployed, I would give you exactly five brownie points for pointing me to the link.
