EP case with about 1200 euros of EP's and accessories gets pulled off table and empties onto ground. Nearly pulls of 800 euro Laptop.Webcam cable and webcam very strong, nearly pulls 12" Dob off EQ platform which probably would have destroyed 1400 euro Dob and crushed the motors and electronics of a 700 euro EQ PLatform.
Very nearly destroyed the entirety of my Astro equipment and thousands of euros worth in one go.
Luckily the scope and EQ platform didn't take a tumble and the contents of the EP case although emptied on the grass suffered no ill effects.
