Task 4: Bad Design (Sports bag)
I have a sports bag that has attached to it a poorly designed shoulder strap. The issue with it is that the locking mechanism used to attach the strap to the bag itself cannot support a large amount of weight, cause the mechanism to break open when carrying the bag; this also causes unnecessary wear and tear on the bag as a whole as it is dropped. The mechanism used for the attachment is not up to holding weight and is better used simply as a buckle.
A simple solution to this would be to replace it with a more suitable mechanism for a shoulder strap that can support a larger amount of weight without popping or breaking open. Such an example is shown below, found on another sports bag I own.
