Yes but the whole rack and structure seemed to be more than up to the job.

The fact that they returned to the rest position quickly when the excitation stops shows they are supercritically damped..... damping could be increased if she wore a wet t-shirt

There was an engineering play on words in there... I just hope it was noticed

If you mean the damping....it sure was

Whether or not the wet t shirt would have the intended effect I think requires experimental investigation to confirm
