The reason you are told not to step on the seat is that, with the 30 degree recline, part of the weight "pulls" aft on the seat cover as it "slides" down the incline. This will tear the cover at the front. If the seat were upright like the Eagle or Hog, that wouldn't happen. It happened EARLY in the Viper's life and became a "rule". And now you know...the rest of the story..........Goodday. Finally! Thanks for chiming in .
