Does it need to be strapped to something or is it OK for it to be floating like that? Its like 3 feet till the first strap. This is in a basement. http://imgur.com/HQfKlvk

What made you question this? __________________ Sometimes I feel like if I answer any more questions it is like someone trying to climb over a fence to jump off a bridge and me giving them a boost.
