I thought securing a load with only a bungy strap was illegal. Maybe I am wrong and it just common sense to use something that won't stretch in the wind. I saw a camper at Woody Head a few years ago lose an eye when us bungy strap that he was stretching across his trailer broke and the hook ended up in his eye.  :'(
