Cheap plastic and metal rivets dangerous in light breeze

The umbrella is adjustable and covers a large area with shade. However it is not designed for any wind pressure whatsoever. Any light breeze can push the umbrella upward and break the lower locking support arm. This happened to ours and exposed the cheap rivet stamped through the thin metal support arm. We had to use self tapping screws to reattach the support arm and continue to use this umbrella. Bad design and cheap material which if unstable could injure a person.
