I think Park chickened out because of liability, just like the headtube jack HTS-1, both front end fixers are done and gone, as well as SS-1 and the FRS-1 floor standing rack/jig like VeloCult has that I think is typically bolted to the floor. I am surprised they still make the FFS-2. Granted most of these tools can easily do more harm than good in the wrong hands so there's that.
