[QUOTE="browncollar, post: 53872"] I have been told that the automated small-sorting system, the Bullfrog, puts no limit on the weight of bags. It fills them right to the top. Bags from hubs with the Bullfrog definitely tend to be quite heavy. We have had several injuries in our hub, mostly minor, from forever bags. Hands get scratched and cut while opening them in debag, a couple of people have been hit in the eye when the top part of a nearly empty big flipped unexpectedly, and someone was cut to the bone when one of those synthetic strands snapped. They also tend to get caught in belts and, I have been told, occasionally catch fire when so trapped. But as tieguy said, they are cheap and do a much better job of protecting smalls. It would be extremely difficult to justify eliminating them, but perhaps there is a better design that might make them easier and safer to work with. I favor a more box-like shape. [/QUOTE]
