Guys,

I'm no structural engineer, but I stayed in a Holiday Inn Exp...

Seriously, for a while in undergrad I thought about being a structural engineer and spent some time learning to draft and basically hanging around a structural engineering office. Almost any structure & especially parking structures are typically built with mega-worst case assumptions like:

- All spaces occupied by 5500lbs SUVs
- All driving spaces filled up with SUVs trying to exit the structure
- All floors loaded to maximum
- Gale force winds
- Extra water load weight
- etc.

Those cobras are so light, even filling up the entire top floor hasn't (and I'd bet any amount of money) would never be an issue.
