Fake X-Poles

Hey ladies and gents saw this on the X-pole Australia FB ppage ( https://www.facebook.com/XPOLEAUS?fref=ts ) .... So thought i would share it here too.... "Feeling completely overwhelmed by the number of fake sets out there. Last week a girl mid-performance broke her hip bones so badly that she will never be able to pole again... when a fake pole snapped while in use. She will not ever dance again, & she will be lucky to walk again normally. Going through Ebay now & there are sellers that have sold 301 sets... 384 sets sold... last one of 75 sets... 401 sets sold... it is pages & pages & pages of fake X-POLEs. If your dome or your friend's dome looks like this: please please do not use the pole?? Our domes are not teardrop shape. Fake sets are so dangerous. We are in court with one seller who has sold hundreds, and we will have to now commence proceedings against others. It takes months to get these guys to stop selling & they just open up shop under a different name - so please keep each other safe - spread the work & say no to fake sets? To those that have one - it may feel sturdy - but so did the one this girl was using. The join was push fit & chromed over the top, but no welds at all. Even the domes only have two sets of dodgy cheap bearings that are not sufficient for sideways loads. Please consider your safety - contact us if you're unsure sales@x-pole.com.au or go to www.xpole.com if you're not in Australia." Pic below of fake xpole...
