Ed, the brackets are tight enough so that the table cannot easily clear the rubber moulding on the forward edge of the cabinet. To get the table out requires a good push. Now, in the event of a crash, yes it may come out. However, if that is all I was worried about coming at me from behind I'd just stay at home. Too much other stuff back there that can come flying forward also. I try to be reasonable but........I'm not paranoid ! A simple positive lock could be devised however.
