My problem with this approach has been that with a bunch that will weigh up to and well over 100 pounds, plus with the additional weight of the upper stem and all the leaves they will start out slowly bending over, but you can't catch hundreds of pounds of incoming fruit, stem and leaves after they pick up speed on their way down!
This works very well with the shorter and lighter varieties, just like in the video, but the Big And Tall fruits are beasts of another sort!
