I'm guilty. I had a soft toneau over my bed. I didn't want to drill holes for the snaps so I built a frame that sat down in and on the bed rails. I put the snaps on the frame. I guess I didn't secure it too well, but I had driven for a few months even at freeway speeds.
I was sitting at a light in 30MPH Santa Ana winds when a large gust came from behind and lifted the whole enchilada up and over my truck. It landed on top and across the windshield of the car in front of me. Talk about surprise. I jumped out and took it off the car. Not a scratch, everyone went on their way with a jittery laugh.
