Perhaps someone that is familiar with this particular model would know? It appears that something caused it to flip completely over at or near the water/ice line. I guess my question is do these units, which would appear to be top heavy if on water with a deflated skirt, have a tendency to be unstable given the conditions that day?
They are not unstable depending on where you place the weight. They are not top heavy either.
