Step Above stair strut bolt broke!!!

Guys, if you have Step Above stairs, check the strut bolt!!!!

This evening after arriving at our destination I was lowering the "Step Above" stairs. The bolt that attaches the struts to the stairs and provides lift support for the stairs broke!!!
The stairs struck me on my arm. Thank God my wife was standing back or it would have hit her on the head.
Sent Keystone customer service an email. Will follow up with a phone call tomorrow.
Recommend redesigning this to have redundant struts and bolt on both sides to preclude this kind of failure, possibly causing severe injuries.
