Yes, but the POINT is (gee, do I REALLY have to state it?) that a free
standing, extended crankup will come down at a MUCH LOWER wind speed than
most people would think.  An HONEST manufacturer would volunteer this
information to an otherwise unsuspecting customer for the safety of the
customer, even if it cost him a few sales . . .
