It happened to Jeek & Jeek (Jake Scott, of the Scott Canoe family, and his friend
who also was named Jake).  They had two new R-5s (plastic general touring kayaks)
on their racks.  The front rack broke away (the gutter trim popped), and then
after a couple of seconds, the back let go.  Several cars on the highway had to
hit the ditch, but fortunately there were no injuries.
