The problem arose when he put it on a belt clip (the kind which
resembles climbing gear but has a warning about supporting a human's
weight with it), then clipped it to his belt.  He had no such
reinforcement around it, and when he sat down it hit the seat and
tried to go "up", but couldn't, and SNAP!

Incidentally, to the less tech saavy observer, storing the cards in a
wallet can be quite confusing.  During a thunderstorm a few months
ago, my wife, my mother, our pets and I took shelter in my office (we
live very close at hand and a tornado was imminent).  My mom went to
the bathroom and upon returning was very confused as to why my wagging
my butt at the wall opened the door but when she did it, it had no
effect.
