If a rope snaps under normal use is that covered under warranty? My handle sank with it too <IMG SRC="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/sad.gif" ALT=":-(" BORDER=0> <BR> <BR>I can like send in the little bit of rope left to prove its an accurate line? Dunno how this would work. <BR> <BR><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5jl_AtFq1s&amp;feature=channel_page" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5jl_AtFq1s&amp;feature=channel_page</a>

i would think that vid is enough proof. so did you get that nasty slap on your leg from the handle? bummer hope you had a spare line in the boat.

Your buddy choked, wasn't the handle still in his hands when he snapped it? lol}

My buddy snapped a straightline rope used only about 10 times. I bought a new one. It happens and not everything should be replaced for free. Funny how weve gotten to that point where we feel nothing we use in this sport should break. I remember tripping when it snapped though since its not really supposed to happen and it cost me 120 bucks. Bummer! Thats a nasty raspberry on the leg BTW!

Wow... I've never seen that happen. Pretty nuts... I definitely think Acc will hook you up with a new one.

his leg is even worse today, from looking at the video we think he punched himself with the handle after the snap. pretty crazy stuff. <BR> <BR>rich im not trying to get free stuff just to get free stuff, i paid good money for the rope and havent even used it a full season...if they dont cover it i wont be bashing them or anything like that, was just curious if it was covered or not. I def dont want to be the guy who rips off companys!

I know what your talking about the same thing happened to me. I thought the exact same thing. In fact when I was buying the new one I even told the guy how mine broke in less than 10 times out. They cost a fortune and we expect them to last forever. My point was more of an observation not mean spirited. But seriously why do ropes that cost over 100 bucks break. I got a coated one this time around. I hope its better!
