You get that anytime you buy a heavy duty skylight.  That is not a gowesty
product problem.  If you put in a heavy duty item you need to beef up the
other side as well.  The heavy duty will probably hold up to icing
situations and hail far better than a standard light but no skylight is
going to hold up to a load.  Seen many a skylight caved in when something
hit them or was put on them.  Also that includes wind loading of leaving
them open and trying to do 75mph down the highway.  Not a good thing for
stress and loading.
