u know those flaps under the foam part? when there is a drop in pressure from the water being sucked in they open and the water exits out through there, i don't know if anyone has ever tried to hydrolock on purpose with this thing just to see how good it actually works or not. i would like to see that

I doubt that even an idiot is going to drive through a lake and then claim "my bypass valve did not work"
