The only damage on my Yagi antennas from the ice storm we had (about an inch of radial ice) was to Philliystran struts. In every case the jacket held in place under the clamps but the strand inside moved. Now I have to rent a crane with man basket to repair the struts.

The end attachment with three clamps is obviously not a good system.
