Well, HIS, you have something there for sure. "warnings for belts running faster than 5000 rpm with 50 HP" Someone can make a statement and it will not mean much. Read it out of the EXPERTS book and it takes a brave man to buck those odds. But what do I know. PS The Belt that Jesel and BOP use is the best in the game from Gates, according to BOP.
