The easiest way to bend BC plates is probably by jumping on them and
landing on the outside edges. Much more stress at the corner.
For people who are bending/breaking their BC plates, you should probably
move to something a little more structural than a simple "L" shape. Like
an L with gussets underneath. Making something like that out of aluminum
should allow for a much thinner design (less material) at equal or
greater strength.
Is it just me, or does this thread exhibit some of the worst spelling
ever in one place?
