and how did they not snap when somebody hangs on them??

The College and Pro rims have spring loaded attachments to allow them to bend down when someone hangs on them. Thus no more broken glass. Which Darrel Dawkins used to do quite often before these we invented.
See a sample one at this site:

It doesnt snap because the rim is on flexi glass. And the rim is made out of iron.
