In Response To: IPF Equipment Moratorium (Garry Holmen)

Not sure why the IPF put in the rule, but maybe it is because of shirts blowing out and causing potential injury to lifters. There were several close calls at Worlds, including several near catastrophies in the warm-up room. Additionally, the relationship between the IPF and the two main equipment suppliers is a rocky affair. ERs safety attachment may change the IPF's mindset.
