Here's all the proof you need, a wind tunnel test was performed at the University of Washington Aeronuatical Laboratory to test the strength of Windbrella, GustBuster and ShedRain Umbrellas. At 50.9 mph winds GustBuster inverted, at 51.2 Windbrella inverted; and the ShedRain umbrella withstood 71 mph winds.
