MTB Saddle Injury WARNING

Hollow - safety channel - MTB saddles can snap and cause serious (if not fatal) injury. This is exactly what happened to me, so I've put this video together in hope to prevent others from getting injured. Please note, this safety hazard only becomes relevant if you fall hard on such saddle. Therefore if you just ride on flat surfaces and don't engage in any form of jumps, then you probably don't have anything to worry about.

good warning. Were your rails at all loose in the seat clamp?

[@ChilledBeans]

That's a great question. They were very firm, definitelly not loose. The rails remained locked in, which is why i got cut up by the sharp plastic only. Otherwise if they were loose there would be more rough metal exposed, or i could have got impaled by the post. I was really lucky that it didn't get my arteries either, so I could get back to the car and hospital without bleeding to death. Stay safe.
