The product, in the report: Shade Buddy by Guerrilla Painter, umbrella/sun shade with stand that consists of umbrella holder, metal pole, metal foot piece, and sharp metal spear-like tip to push into the ground. www.guerrillapainter.com
Most recently (8/2012) I was using the sun shade umbrella with a stand, Shade Buddy by Guerrilla Painter while outdoor oil painting. The wind was not aggressive but enough to pick up the umbrella and the stake. It flew up in the air 15 feet, and then quickly carried it 20 feet behind me. I dove out of the way and fortunately there were not people behind me. The stand is a heavy metal pole with a metal foot piece and a sharp metal, spear like point at the end. This is the 3rd occurrence. On a separate occasion, June 2012, I was sitting on the ground with my easel painting. My mom was standing next to me with her Shade Buddy. The wind changed directions, picking up her embrella with stake. She grabbed the umbrella handle to prevent it from flying away. With the top half secure, the bottom end (below the hinge) swung around very quickly and hit me. I contacted the company. They have not replied. We do not use our 2 ShadeBuddy umbrellas bc it is a hazard with potential to severely injure someone.
