Used to carry my sleeping pad strapped on top of my pack, now I roll it inside

Last summer on the Franconia Ridge loop I had my Therm-a-Rest strapped on top and it kept catching branches and throwing me off balance. After one trip where I nearly took a spill near Little Haystack, I started rolling it inside my pack bag first. Anyone else switched how they pack for better balance?

Whoa, I actually way prefer it strapped on top so I can slide it off fast for summit breaks.

Lost my actual backpack off a cliff once because it wasn't strapped down tight enough... never made that mistake again.
