The little red latch serves another function in that someone can't use your "emergency exit" as an entrance when you're not there. If I don't latch the two on the front bed and get too far forward the bed will lift up, but I've never allowed it to get so far that it dumps me out - I always grabbed something to keep it from going all the way. It does make your heart beat faster! I've never had that happen on the back bed, but I usually fasten the latch when I put up the bathroom walls. On the front bed, I don't think it's "urban legend", but I don't want to be the one to prove it one way or another!
