Default Important safety tip--bungie cords

I would highly recommend that one NOT open the hatch back when you have anything tied to the roof with bungie cords (or are tying to attach the bungies). I just found out that if the bungie cord slips off of the metal rail, it can hurtle into the hatch glass like a slingshot, and bust the back window! A quick $1000 trip to the glass shop!

In fact, I think I am going to stop using them all together, and just tie everything down with rope.
