the weasel of knowledge proclaimeth:
the welds were fucked up because either:
A. they used bog standard MIG with stainless wire and didn't get proper shielding gas on either side of the weld, leading to poor weld quality
B. they used flux core arc welding on stainless and nobody can weld that shit reliably goddamn fuck that process
either way, I doubt they had proper shielding gas on the heat effected spot on the backside of the welds, and the wind and general ricketyness of the manlifts would fuck anybody up
