The clip broke. And it has nothing to do with my body. Really.
It broke during our trip to Taiping yesterday and I need to a replacement fast. After thinking much about it, the clip broke because I held the belt at an angle instead of holding it straight. Umm.... how can I explain this.
OK, the belt material is tough and rigid. You can flex it side ways (horizontal movement) but its resistant to being flexed up and down (vertical movement). And so, when I am not wearing it, I should be holding the belt vertically so that the clip on the belt is vertical. And the clip is actually the weakest part of the belt. If I bend it, to say, 30ยบ, the strain of of the belts weight will concentrate on the clip and so, it breaks.
