Except when you pop the spring off when you climb a curb. Then the jiffy stand becomes a spark generator as it drags the ground. Carry a bungee to hold it up when this happens. BTDT many times.

, tied tarps to them for camping, tied hammocks to them for camping. Never, ever had the jiffy be anything other than rock stable.

The only flaw in a basically perfect kick(Jiffy)stand design, is that given the right curb contact, you will destroy the return spring. Other than that they are virtually indestructible. And as mentioned, by FAR the best in the industry.

My wife gets on the bike while I'm sitting on it, with the kickstand down. I weigh 215. The wife is 5'9". Don't know what she weighs, I'd guess about 165. The kickstand doesn't seem to flex.
I figure the kickstand is designed to withstand 2 people a lot bigger than us.
