Posted by someone else... Quote Basketball is all about scoring baskets and slam dunking is one of the legal ways to do it. It should be built to withstand many dunking moves and the weight of the ppl performing the dunks. If a structure made for dunking that was installed just 18mths ago can collapse, it just shows how bad a job they did it. Don't tell me before this ppl never slam dunk in the years before they upgraded it last year? I don't even recall an incident like this happening before in the past 40 years, let alone resulting in death 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not uncommon to retrieve ball stuck between the rim and board by climbing up the structure. So, to expect the structure to take a human weight is normal. The modern design is to cantilever the board out of the structure because you don't want the players to run onto the structure. But with that, they must ensure the footing is strong enough to take the over hanging weight mah. I am sure this is not the first court. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole backboard will drop down like a pivot and the rim will bend downwards if you pull it. So even if the floor part is weak, I believe it will not collapse like this freak accident. picture not taken in Singapore. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they are the same contractor that install floor lights/Streetlamp. Just guessing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They pushed the 2 ladies so high the legs of the swing gave way and the whole swing and 2 ladies flew off the cliff. Its something I would rather have not seen but gave me an idea of when to send my MIL for holiday when can travel again. Too late as the swing had already fallen! Can try the glass bridge.

If not, AG quiries the person who calls for the tender, why lowest one not awarded. Statement put up like seow ... They need not award to the lowest tender, but, they have to justify. Another aspect of calling for any tender is the specifications required. For ordinary personnel, including those in the maintenance services, may not have the expertise to spell out the specs. This requires the input from the professionals. Contractors who win tenders will normally sub-contract out the different jobs. They themselves do not possess the expertise to carry out the tasks. I remember the contractor who was undertaking the upgrading project next to my former work place asked me who could install football goal posts. I just gave him my contact. 2 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost can hang an elephant will also not bend. So now it was the foundation that is not secured? Very similar to those trees with tiny or no roots but heavy crown. Maybe we like top heavy stuff. haha Who don't? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
