You made me look again. I actually worried about this when I installed it and I definitely saw the dimples in the column line up when I put the bolts in.
It's supposed to take 800NM of force to collapse the column (like, in an accident). If yours collapsed that easily, that's not right - I'd consider replacing it. I think it took courage to post this, because if you did it, someone else will, and might not be so lucky. God knows, I've made more than a few stupid, expensive, and life-threatening mistakes (having a hood fly up on me because I didn't latch it comes to mind, as does having a car slip off of a jack because I didn't check the emergency brake-and I really should have known better).
