Now that Southwest and Alaska are starting to install the "Scimitar" winglets on their 73's which feature a downward pointing winglet in addition to the upward swept Aviation Partners winglet I wonder if we are going to see a lot more of these "Ramp-rash" type incidents.

That downward pointing winglet is just begging to be hit by ground equipment or vice versa.
