Let's take a 100 pound, 6 inch diameter red oak limb, coat it with 3/4
inch of ice and drop it on your loop and see what it looks like.  I'm
still cleaning from the ice storm.  I've cut two truck loads of fire
wood just from the limbs that broke around my house.  The vertical just
drooped and the counter weight pulled it back into shape as the ice
melted.
