This has been a major point of consternation for me. Specifically, I do
not want my precious G4 rolling down the rails (bump, bump, bump) to come to rest at the bottom and then get hammered again by the oversized rollaboard behind it.
I always insist of grabbing it directly from the roller. This has caused problems when I am selected for secondary and not allowed to touch my stuff!
