I FELL BACKWARDS ONTO THE PAVEMENT INJURING MY BACK AND LEFT SHOULDER. MY HEAD MISSED STRIKING A CONCRETE CURB BY MERE INCHES. THIS FAILURE CONSTITUTES A SERIOUS SAFETY CONDITION WITH A STRONG POSSIBILITY OF PERSONAL INJURY. THIS IS ALSO A LATENT DEFECT THAT IS UNABLE TO BE DETECTED BY THE CONSUMER UNTIL THE COMPONENT FAILS.
