Bolt failure at Muline in the grampians. 20-Oct-2014 At 8:56:46 AM rockwarzz

I spent a few weeks in the in the gramps with my brother. On a few occasions we ran into some loose bolts. Typically this isn't a problem and we can easily finger tighten most loose nuts. Not the case though, on Flying Duck. After catching my brother on every bolt up until it joins with Eye of the Tiger. I gave it a try and the first time I fell on the 4th bolt, the nut flew off the end of the bolt, freeing the hanger. It was only another meter and a half extra. I'm fine, I didn't deck. Could someone pass on to the gentlemen who do the bolting/ maintenance?
