Velcro is simple and lightweight, making it ideal for attaching external elements and holding down movable parts. Velcro Pros And ConsVelcro works well for a versatile set of needs. From holding objects on spaceships in place, to fastening shoes, to holding a seat cushion to a chair, Velcro works. Unlike buttons, which can easily fall off due to weakening thread, Velcro is super strong and durable. The nylon or polyester materials used with hook and loop fasteners ensure that it remains intact, even after repeated uses. Shoe closures can resist a large force with only a small amount of hook-and-loop fasteners. This is because the strap is wrapped through a slot, halving the force on the bond by acting as a pulley system (thus gaining a mechanical advantage), and further absorbing some of the force in friction around the tight bend. This layout also ensures that the force is parallel to the strips. The game moved to the U.S. after Sports Illustrated published a story on it in 1991. Adam Powers and Stephen Wastell of the Perfect Tommy's bar in New York city read of the game, and soon became the United States distributor of Human Bar Fly equipment. By 1992, wall-jumping was practiced in dozens of New Zealand bars and was said to be one of the favorite bar activities there at the time.
