I'm a big bastard, around 240lb and I was standing on the handle spanned between 2 stumps and it flexed a bit but never though of breaking. Also slammed it full bore onto hardwood stumps at every angle trying my hardest to screw it up and I couldn't. I went into that little test sceptical as all hell but I walked away very impressed.
