I know what you are saying. While driving down the highway a mattress that was on the roof of the car in front of me came flying off and I had to do an emergency maneuver in the Midget and it scared the crap out of me.

I had similar happen to me. This was in the 90’s, coming back to Orlando after doing a wedding drop off, was on I4 and was behind a car with surfboards attached to the roof. The straps broke and went flying all around. One of them hit the ground in front of me, bounced and went over my Chevy Astro.
