But this wouldn't be considered a good bonded ground.  I realize there
is lots of downward force on it, but technically there is no good
electrical connection.

I had marked this thread to follow, since I'm in the same boat.  I'm
wondering if a separate ground line strapping the top of each section
together (top so that it can still be lowered) is needed.
