Once I added too much weight (One too many telescopes) onto on my EQ5. I was making latitude adjustments and the adjustment screws got really tight. In my infinite wisdom I decided to add more force.
Moments later one of the two adjustment screws loosened, and the whole (Top heavy) mount almost flipped backwards towards North, with the front legs lifting up. Luckily I was able 'hug' whole thing before it continued backwards onto the concrete... though the blood on my head probably disagrees on this 'luck'!
