What happens here
With the house wrap stapled to the board, the creator positions himself under a sturdy frame (possibly a forklift or similar equipment) and attempts to hang his full body weight from the stapled house wrap. The house wrap rips, and the staples pull out or tear through the material, causing him to fall. This is marked as a 'Fail'.
Goal: Assess the pull-out strength and integrity of stapled house wrap under stress.
