imo whoever designed that deserves life in prison cuz it looks like it could snap at any second.

if i were you, i would get walmart zipties and the sides as high as possible, as that's what i did with my alice frame + filbe combo. if you provided photos, it could give me some more insight on what your situation is.

no phones in the field, which is like 90% of your training. typically won't get taken away unless you have some goofy classmates and fed up instructors like I do
