Awning pawl picture - why they open on the road

I saw a RV awning next the dumpster this morning in Hardin, Mt. Many have posted the need to a secondary lock on the roller. Note the arms do not hold the awning to the side of the RV, it is just the spring and small pawl in the end cap. See attached picture. SNOKING
