Brief Description: Testing Confidence Layup with Load

Incremental load tests..... Jenna applying up to 44 pounds on the confidence layup. So far so good. Lauryn applying 60 pounds.... still holding. Now for over 100 pounds, here's Noah..... it didn't break ! I tried it myself as well. We'll just say it's good for somewhere over 150 pounds and leave it at that :-) A 200 pound load would be equivalent to about 10 Gs.

Jenna - 44 pounds

Lauryn - 60 pounds

Noah - 108 pounds
