The spool stayed intact (and fortunately didn't jump the barrier and finally fell over).

The aftermath of the unrolled rolls of steel sheet I've seen blocked the freeeway and took quite a while to cut up into pieces to remove from the scene. Plus a buncha concrete pavement sections got smashed from the initial bouncing and had to be replaced in short order.

Good to periodically check your loads and have redundant chaining.

I seen one fall off a truck and when it hit it telescoped out about a 100 ft... taking out a few cars with it! No one got hurt but was a thrill to see!
