A friend lost his Husky at Appleton in a thunderstorm event recently. The airplane was tied down with "The Claw".
There were reportedly tornados around when this happened, so who knows if anything would have held. He also doesn't know if the Bonanza broke loose first, or his airplane.
All the claws were pulled out, two were broken.
Again, not sure anything would have held in this instance, but I saw a lot of folks at OSH (including my neighbor, who arrived with NO tiedowns, and rented the crappy ones that EAA rents) with really poor tiedowns, ones that are obviously far inferior to the Claw.

Pretty sad event.
