  1.  @sferrin2  it isn't considered "rare" when quantity is limited simply by how much the mills are asked to make lol Full hard is just talking about the treatment and hardening process applied to the metal, and while it is not as common, simply because not as many people use it, there is no limit on how much could be made from standard stainless steel stock.

  2. The nose section is sheet metal welded onto a square tubing welded steel wire frame using construction that looks a lot like your basic square tubing commercial stairway handrail. Depending on how far the open end collapsed, they may be able to just use some jacks and chain pullers to pull it back into shape, or they might have to cut out some bent sections of square tube and weld new pieces in. If some of the sheet metal got kinked or torn, they might have to slap some new sheet on, but that's a simple process. Basically, while an annoyance, it should not take long or effect things that much, because of how simple this design is. Score another point for this construction style! Lol Oh, and I suspect that the failure may have been the bottom of the frame itself failing at the attachment to the hold down brackets, since it is such light construction, but I am pretty sure they will add guy wires to it next time lol
