I have had a couple negative experiences with single magnets, and one
with a 6 meter halo on a triple magnet. I would say the triple or
quad with a hamstick is practically impossible to knock off, however.
At least at any speed less than 30 over the interstate limit including
normal wind gusts. Or so I've heard.

It is perhaps that "normal" business that is where the problem lies.
This road (speciifically, it is route 22 over Cresson mountain near
Altoona PA, is notorious for high and gusty winds. They have wind
warning signs, and even a tower mounted sensor that will trip electronic
signs. Trailers have flipped over in that area. Who knows what exact
wind hit me.

I have a triple magnet and hamstick that has survived 70MPH and 50MPH
wind gusts with no problem. We get a lot of wind out here and it has
handled it all for the last 3 years.
