Yea, I probably knocked some dirt off the exhaust pipe and I agree if the ballhead broke, my camera could be damaged. Point well taken..
I will be trying another one with a length of electrical conduit of 1" or so diameter. I believe it would also be strong enough. I will continue to support from under the car though. I just don't trust a suction cup affair on the paint. The suction cup I use for the support wire is mounted to the back glass. Wire is only for steadying the camera, not for holding it up. Pole is plenty strong enough for that.
I do hope the 3/8 inch eyebolt that holds the ball head to the heavy wall square tubing doesn't break..
Every time you put your camera on a tripod, you assume some risk but that's not going to keep me from using one from time to time. If you try one of these motion shots, use an ounce of common sense please.
