[QUOTE="purpledog07, post: 640377, member: 22687"] What about John Guest speedfit or similar to make the frame, this would stay rigid but collapse and give on impact with no sharp edges, just bent plastic. Could be padded between the fittings and wrapped with "paracord" and a cargo net or bamboo style weave. I love making stuff, and now this has got me thinking... If bamboo is a preference the crossbar could still be made from real bamboo, just put a series of cuts in the fwd face to create a crumple zone should knees ever contact hard. [/QUOTE]
