I went out to the warehouse and pulled Sports Fan Telescoping, Fiberglass, Multiple Flag Pole # 94999. When you extend the pole it locks into place with friction. The bottom part of each section is wider than the rest of the section so it cannot pull out of the section below it. To retract the sections it does take a fair amount of force so it would not collapse under the weight of a flag (unless the flag was very large).
