I see a lot of guys on the road using bungee cords to fasten down materials, ladders, etc.
They're NOT intended for the primary hold down, in fact, some of them state so quite clearly, embossed right in the rubber.
That's just BS for the lawyers, like how there are no waterproof watches anymore, just "water resistant" and roman candles printed "do not hold in hand" or how you'll see pacifiers and baby bottles in stores emblazoned "not for children under 3" just like every other product coming off the boat. Of course, they're primary hold-downs, that's the entire point of bungees! That they try to pretend otherwise because they're worried about breaking is simply sad.
