The product, in the report: Barnett Black Widow Sling Shot
Purchased a new Barnett Black Widow slingshot for my 14 yr old son. Third time shooting it with him the wrist support slid off at full draw causing the sling shot to torque out of my hand and into my face/eye causing er visit, including brow stiches and eye damage. The wrist strap is not permenantely attached in any way and it’s soft plastic, causing it to flex and pull right off the handle/wrist support. Very unsafe design. This happened to me and not my son, thankfully.
