How interesting! Everything is fine with the landing - no problems. But after the FIRST short 2 hour night walks the ratchet jammed and since I like to wear my straps tight I had to literally cut myself through the strap to get out of the strap to go to the bathroom. Which obviously ruined the skin. I can't return it because the belt and buckle are because...well...both are junk. What an exciting evening with the family!
