I can't imagine doing that - between the corner latches and the main latches, I just can't see that happening, particularly the rear shell (which won't pop up unless the front shell pops up).

I think the suggestion to carry something like that is so that if the latches break, you have a way of closing down and keeping things together until you can get it repaired.

I've traveled now around 25,000 miles with the TM - and never had an issue with shells popping open. I've also seen numerous other TMs on the highway, but never with the back shell strapped down.
