The CPSC seeks to promote the safety of consumer products by addressing “unreasonable risks” of injury.

I mean, if that saddle has not been properly fastened down, who knows what could happen?

imagine the sizing -

they had to find a bar of just the right width so it would go over the man's waist yet would be too narrow to fall down over his hips

outfit could be a source for beginning a new thread on saddle position adjustment...

Bikes: 1967 Paramount; 1982-ish Ron Cooper; 1978 Eisentraut "A"; two mid-1960s Cinelli Speciale Corsas; and others in various stages of non-rideability.

For wearing that saddle the way he is, that guy should be sued for false advertising.

There is a thread on here for Creative and clever uses for old parts. This would fit right in.
