XR70+45lbs=broken frame

Some of you may know that I make fiddy springs, and now xr70 springs. Well, I sold a set to a kid with a xr70....He's only 6 and weighs 45 pounds and broke his frame in three places. Here's a pic of him that his dad just sent me

at 45 pounds there is no way he needed stiffer springs, and no way that he broke the frame in three places riding that thing under ordinary means. Is this guy trying to blame it on your stuff?

I dont think hes 6. Jumping like that at 6, his body mass isnt big enough to take the stress. He would just fall off.

His dad said he was 6, but it could be a midget on there

For 6, thats a pretty serious jump! He likes my springs and he said that help alot, thats all that really matters I guess.
