They are pretty neat looking, but can they stand up to 300 pounds of snow and ice sliding off the roof on top of them?

After I finished removing a few tons of snow off my north side roof, I had to dig out the Sanyo.

I won't climb up there, so I'm using a snow rake.. It makes a mess around the house.
But, if we don't get the snow off the roof, it might visit us, while we sleep.

I've been reading about people who have had large ice falls drop into their top vented heat pumps.. It breaks things.
