Stan: Yeah, I didn't get everything in my head onto the paper. I don't like to trust a thrust bearing to support the weight alone without a fail-safe backup. I guess I shouldn't have used "designed" - that was a real poor choice of words. I do have a paranoia about the mast clipping my toes. Had one slip down a couple feet once. Don't remember all the details - the bottom was already lower than my feet and no damage was done as I recall.
