Real-World Load Test: Simple Strap with Canoes

only stretches and flexes about 20% okay so I don't care how easy something is I don't care how convenient it is if it doesn't work then it's no good and having your load come loose is a main concern of mine so I challenge the guys that made the simple strap to prove that their strap could actually hold down a pretty big load so what we did is we took a giant canoe stuck it on top of a truck just use two simple straps to tie it down and went down the road at 50 miles an hour to see if this thing would fling off it was a little bit risky but if I can't recommend it if it can't hold up to that I can't recommend it to you guys so let's just see how this thing does so what you're seeing here is not heavy it's light which makes it worse it's kind of like going down the road with a giant kite attached to the top of your truck and we strap both of these canoes down in two different ways one we strap down underneath the canoe and the other one we strap down over the top of the canoe because well why not see if it affects performance and well it didn't they both weren't perfectly fine to be totally honest with you straps now this will not replace this
