I know it is nice to allow a little sway for aesthetics, or ?, but we have some unbelievable weather extremes here (ice storms, big blows from odd angles, etc.) and you d have egg on your face with you and HO standing next to huge limb laying on kitchen floor with bungee attached to it they paid for and you recommended.
I am not how the tone of above sounded. It is not some kind of a challenge. I am really interested in knowing what I should about this system. I can see it with some situations were targets are lacking or the failure threat is marginal.
