Just to underscore the importance of properly tying stuff down. About 15 years ago someone leaving the causeway didn't tie their mast well enough. As you leave the causeway there is a bump as you drive onto the draw bridge. It was just enough to pop the front of the mast out of the front support. The mast fell to the left into the oncoming lane. As fate would have it the moment it fell a car was passing in the other direction. The mast was driven through the windshield of the passing car hitting the driver in the head and killing him.

Always take that last walk around and make sure you secured everything. Don't rely on someone whose helping you to do it right.
