I done broke my favorite hoop!

I noticed my go-to hoop of late, a red poly-pro with a questionable tape job, was starting to corner out at the connection. I ripped it open, figuring the connector had slipped to one side.

Nope. I broke that sucker right in half! Holy moly, I guess I was hooping pretty hard. Has that ever happened to anyone else before?
