| All Dragons | Out, concerns over the long gap since original sales and safety of backrests | Out |
Derek Parker, from Ottawa, ON, pitched a children's foldable snow sled with clip-in backrests. He had previously made and sold 500 units in 1999 but had not continued the business since then, a gap of about 19 years.
The Dragons questioned the safety of the backrests and were skeptical given the long gap between his original sales and the pitch, with no clear plan presented for relaunching; no deal was made.
