It was initially held up by vise grip pliers. I made the mistake of messing with one of them. It's amazing how fast that plate dropped onto my 14 year-old foot! Fortunately i just got bruises and (I think) no broken bones.
Backstop worked great until I went on active duty. Things, of course, changed after that.
