That folding chair at the park picnic table broke my back

Was at Elm Park last Saturday for a neighborhood cookout. Sat down on one of those cheap folding chairs they set up near the concrete tables. Thing buckled sideways within two minutes. Took me down hard. Elbow hit the gravel. Spilled my BBQ sauce everywhere. Later I looked at the design. The legs were too short and the seat angle was all wrong. Folding chairs have been around forever. You'd think someone would have fixed this by now. Has anyone else noticed how bad these things are at public events?

Ha! @charlie_stone72 had the right idea, I should've known better but now my back sounds like a bag of potato chips when I stand up.

Got a padded lawn chair from the trunk. Never trust public folding chairs.
