Yeah, I'm no welder but that isn't right. The rope should have snapped long before the weld let go (unless it was Dyneema). Especially the way the entire cap peeled clean off. Maybe "Joe the new guy" was running the welder that day. Maybe the surfaces weren't prepared properly or corrosion got into the weld. It certainly wouldn't hurt to show Sylvan. They claim a "Limited Lifetime Warranty" on the hull and structure (whatever that means). Maybe get it repaired for free.
