Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This product is dangerous. While I was doing chin-ups, the bar popped out of the brackets. I fell directly onto my knees, which was obviously quite painful. I had to use a cane for several days until the swelling went down. I was lucky that I did not shatter my patella. The fall also compressed my spine, which still aches three weeks later. The bar had not loosened since the last time I tightened it, as I could not put the bar back into the brackets after it fell out. The wall brackets simply aren’t deep enough to support any sort of weight, even well within the maximum listed. I am 5’7” and only weigh 138 lb. I’ve attached a photo to support this review, which shows the brackets still firmly screwed into the door jams with the bar held up next to them to show the bar does not fit back into them without shortening it. This does not prove anything but is hopefully enough dissuade some of you. But don’t just trust this review; see the many others where the bar has broken, slipped, or popped out of the brackets. After reading most of the other reviews, a few are clearly user error like not screwing the product into the wall correctly, but many, many more happened even with what is described as proper instillation, as did my injury. Save your knees and your back, spend an extra $20 dollars on a better-constructed bar.
