In the Summer of 2007 my wife and I enjoyed a vacation in Vancouver, British Columbia.
One of the highlights was the 460 foot long Capilano Suspension Bridge.
A 300 year old Douglas Fir tree weighing 92,000 pounds fell on the tree months before we arrived.
The bridge didn't break!
The bridge was anchored on both sides with massive weights which prevented the bridge from breaking. A tour guide allowed us a sneak peak of the massive anchors.
The builder had prepared for a catastrophe.
Big trees fall all the time. Money problems also happen all the time.
How (and when) will you anchor your bridge?
