I've done that. Once in Colorado (Maroon Bells) after loading "everything", I backed up and as I stopped to change direction, I heard a noise over my head. Got out and removed the LX from the roof. It had rocked on the tripod QR plate just enough to be audible. Several years ago, I dumped a 270 Remington w/scope off the roof onto the hood and then the asphalt. Split the forend and scuffed the bolt handle some. Another time.....oh, never mind.
