No, I'm not going to take off a belt-cover and run a bike to prove something that only BNC believes, it's very bad plan to run with the cover off.

I also point out that with the cover installed, the belt CANNOT jump the variator, as there is not enough space inside the cover.

9 out of 10 times the belts simply shred from old age, or poor construction. My basement is a full shop now, and I have never seen someone jump or throw a belt from a variator, and I've changed dozens, if not hundreds in the last ten years.

Lastly, I do not believe the video to be relevant in any way in regards to the effectiveness of mechanical safety of a Dr Pulley variator, or any variator for that matter.
