Reported risk: If a powered awning is inadvertently activated while the cover is secured with bungee tie-downs, the subsequent manual removal of the bungee tie-downs can cause the awning to open unexpectedly with enough force to strike a person standing in the awning's path (e.g., on a ladder), causing them to fall and suffer serious injury or death. As of August 28, 2019, there have been no reported incidents in Canada. In the U.S., SunSetter has received 14 reports of incidents, including one report of a death and six reports of injuries.
