This is what I think of when someone says gutter failure.
The way he said recommendation kinda leads to this also.
Don’t know where you live, but I used TMJ here in Ames after the derecho. If you have a lot of trees, highly recommend, getting the gutter guards. Also like someone else posted 6” downspouts. If you have the space ask for longer extensions to get the water away from the house.
I got some hinges from Menards, that allows me to fold the extensions up when mowing to prevent them from getting beat up. I also put a brick under a couple of them during the winter to help prevent them from plugging with ice and snow. Just trying to keep them off the ground.

Just bury the extensions and never worry about stepping on them or moving them to mow. Game changer.
Certainly hope the flight attendant is okay. Wonder what airline she is with, would be good to check her out, I mean check up on her.This is what I think of when someone says gutter failure.
If you like icicles all around your house, and I'm talking the natural ones, I cannot recommend LeafGuard enough! Let me tell you some other benefits:
Getting your house painted? Call LeafGuard so they can charge you to take the gutters down or risk losing the "lifetime warranty."
Getting a new roof? Call again while listening to the roofers explain how the LeafGuard gutters weren't installed correctly with proper flashing. And don't even expect corners where two gutters meet to be installed with water flow in mind.
Order gutters in decorative colors to match the house! Then be stuck with that color combination. Or paint the gutters to lose your "lifetime warranty!"
Seriously, I am happy overall, but small things like this ....grrr...

Aren't they the ones with Hawk license plates on all their trucks? If so, big pass.
Not sure where you are located but Alan's Seamless Gutters in Bondurant.
Ok there' some construction company that runs around Ames with hawk license plates.
You can either run them near the curb to hit the storm sewer or dig a hole, fill with gravel and then landscape the area.
