Proves if anything how useless tie downs are for holding down aircraft in high winds. Sandbags on the wings are much better when the gales are expected. No surprise it's was a Piper Cherokee. It happens to low wing aircraft more often than high wing, except for barit's Pa

It also points to a rather less than adequate pre flight inspection. Tsk tsk.
