Obviously the structural engineer doesn't attend roof collapse emergencies all day like we do. Not to mention the math is incorrect and the loads discussed incorrect. Loads also vary greatly in a single city or area. What is correct is that large span flat roofs, metal roofs low slope on agricultural and commercial industrial buildings are the main concern and do collapse and people get hurt - not typical with residential steep pitched roofing. We just wish the focus would stay on the risks because time and again people get caught off guard and roofs collapse and people get hurt doing it themselves or roofs get wrecked when people hire so called experts that don't know what they are doing and on and on and on.
