I worked at a car wash when I was a kid in the '70s. We had a wrench to remove all antenna's. The kid at the end would hand tighten it back on. There were signs stating remove antenna, not responsible for damage etc.
The only incident I witnessed there was a pickup came through that had a bedrail with a rope tied to it. We missed it. The overhead brush grabbed the rope, yanked off the rail and banged up the truck and the car behind it before we could hit the kill switch. The truck had the front windshield and roof smashed. The following car had a banged up hood, roof and smashed windshield. The old lady in the car was freaking out. She thought she was going to die. Of course all us kids are standing around saying 'Ah cool, did you see that? Man. look at that car!' Most exciting day I had at the car wash :)
