The shape of the roof effects wind damage?

I just saw this article and thought the concept was unique but it didn't list any of the "Modern roof shapes" it's referring to. What's a modern roof shape?

It also writes that some of our wind resistant applications are assuming that the wind is coming from one direction which is also an interesting thought.

Isn't it true that if mother nature wants your roof off that nothing is going to keep it on?

I did meet a guy about a year ago at a trade show that has a roof that will adhere with wind.

Lot's of questions for you guys. Now show me how smart you are!

Some people talk to hear themselves talk. Seems like this guy writes to see himself in print.

He says you do not have to worry. There is no danger, but lets write some new building codes.

So what do you thing they were referring to when they said modern roof?
