It will sooooo explode on you mid skid into a busy intersection with a bus coming in one direction and a semi coming in the other. The result in using that chain is certain death.

I'm alive. Chain held up just fine.
The replies here are making me laugh. Thanks.
That's a hair from my head.

Kind of funny, the chain this is about isn't for 9 speed, it's a bmx chain and I only had to remove one peice and not a whole link. And the chain I put on the mtb a KMC K710sl failed.
