In this case, I expect it’s going to be blowing those ratchet straps after they become unanchored, turning them into whips that’ll cleave the roof in half.

The description for the picture says they are connected to big burried concrete blocks, so likely the house is gone before these straps get loose.

Yeah but if a tree slams into the strap and breaks it

It’ll trampoline off into the neighbor’s house.

Those straps aren’t going to break.

It might break the roof. Those straps are nearly as wide as that truck’s brake lights, i don’t see them snapping so easily.

if one of them goes, the other is pretty likely to go as well. Unless you just didn’t secure it properly, in which case skill issue.
