I've been trying to wrap mu mind around that ... where does it state a skylight wider than 30" needs a cricket?
A skylight is different than a chimney or wall in that the wider a chimney or wall gets, the more water which will build-up and collect on the high side of it, however, with a skylight, before the water builds up to a point where it could overflow its flashing (the reason for the cricket) the water would overflow the skylight itself because the skylight is not that high.
Unless I am missing something.
