This looks really dangerous. without any thing bolting them down, even a small accident would knock this loose, I think. I would think, with the weight of the camera, that even sideways forces of hard turning would dislodge it. One hard right turn and you get a metal bracket upside your head...

You do have a point, yes, but like all after market (sorry most aftermarket products) I tested it in many situations so far and no problems with a dislodge. Same could be said for anyone driving home from work with a laptop computer in the bag or coming home from the store with 3 cans of corn or beans. The same idea is present here; it will not be mounted in the car at all times and for the most part be under a controlled situation to minimize the risk of any potential problems that could lead to an accident.

yea, which is why you shouldn't auto-x with your groceries and laptop in to car but with this specifically for things like that, I would be a bit worried. So, not for me, but more power to ya, if you want to use it
