I would have to say.. bad yammi design. It shouldn't do that.

I agree it's a crap design. Although my vote would be tank pucks and new tank rather than campfire and marshmallows in turn 8!

Yes, the tank has little 'wings' sort of... on the top, which are GREAT for getting your leg under and hanging off... but suck for crashing

Yeah the whole tank design is flawed, as well as the little plastic shrouds that tend to have tabs snap. Oh well... the rest of the bike rules.
