The scariest thing I ever saw was when I was living in Sitka. A guy was 
driving down the road with an aliumium canoe on top of his car. The canoe 
came loose and went air borne and flew into the wind sheild of a bread 
truck! The picture showed the canoe sticking half way into the truck. Lucky 
for the driver it hit the passenger's side.
The next time I went paddling I tighten my straps so tight the kayak 
screamed.
