That sounds like a fair test of the engineering principles involved.
D'you
reckon squirming and attempting to turn around suddenly while sitting
on
one would be allowed, too? I think a video would be more convincing
than
a still image, after all y'might sit down *ever so* carefully and/or
conceal
hidden extra supports for a still, whereas a video could demonstrate
that
a large person could plonk 'emself down with a fine and careless
disregard for the notespecially elastic properties of... aluminium did
someone say?... and still have a chair afterwards...
I think the said chairs are galved steel.
If they are molished from landing struts then there's a reasonable chance that they are magnalium not steel. Very pretty on a bonfire, from a distance. Preferably a long distance.
