Have you seen shipping containers properly secured for sea tossed overboard? Or cars, trucks, trailers, tied down for sea break loose in a car carrier or ferry boat? Things at sea can be very unpredictable. Basically, s--t happens.
And what percentage of plastic bags that end up in the ocean are caused by that "rough seas" scenario as opposed to 2 legged pigs??? Not very much I would guess.
