- jfim 6y agoYeah I'm curious as to what is the failure mode for these sensors when they're run out of spec. As you point out, if the sensor is just returning an inaccurate it's probably fine as you're only interested in a relative load value (loaded vs unloaded), not an accurate reading. I don't have actual data with regards to this, but the instantaneous force applied to the load cells would likely exceed their spec in the case of a heavier adult jumping on the arrows or otherwise hitting them off center with more force than placing a static load on it.
