Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.
I will introduce more rules later and when I finish doing that I will make an announcement post about that.
For overall temporary guide check out the rules here: https://www.reddit.com/r/hmmm/wiki/rules/
I won't be moving all of them here but I will keep most of them.

The description for the picture says they are connected to big burried concrete blocks, so likely the house is gone before these straps get loose.
Yeah but if a tree slams into the strap and breaks it
It might break the roof. Those straps are nearly as wide as that truck's brake lights, i don't see them snapping so easily.
Those straps aren’t going to break.
Look man I'm not a sciencologist but if a big ol tree smacks into that strap maybe the strap doesn't break but the metal tie downs? Idk man doesn't seem like it would work out well for the house or straps
You could use those straps to lift a large tree up in the air with a crane
A 2" wide straps is supposed to fail at about 10,000 pounds/4500kg of static load. The nylon strap will fail long before the metal hardware does, and the roof is going to fail before either of those do. If a large enough object fell on the strap, the most probable scenario is that the strap would end up acting like a wire cutter to the roof.
I believe you
It'll trampoline off into the neighbor's house.
