Story:

"Hi, I have a BlackWolf backpack with a detachable smaller back pack.  I am an Australian who has travelled with this bag through the US, Canada and Alaska and currently living in the UK.  While I was in Canada my backpack saved my life.
Here is the shorter version: While working in the Canadian Rockies at a ski resort I was working on the back side of the mountain.  While catching the first lift to the top of the mountain one morning, my backpack got stuck to the lift chair.  It swung me around the lift and left me hanging 30 metres in the air, beneath the lift chair; above rocks at the top of a mountain.  I was hanging from only one strap of my backpack that had somehow wrapped around my wrist.  The lift was stopped by the shocked lifty.  It was early in the morning so I had to hang there by my right arm for 25 minutes hoping that the strap wouldn't break.  Luckily for me it held and I was rescued.
The backpack was fine but I lost some feeling in my right shoulder (came back after a month).

One month later, mostly recovered, I was snowboarding down the mountain and hit a patch of slush at high speed.  I tumbled several times and came to a sliding stop.  When I regained composure I realise that the little backpack that saved my life weeks earlier had broken on the strap that had held my weight for 25 minutes from the lift chair.  So now all my friends buy BlackWolf and told me to tell you of my story."
