I totally concur. My rack folded under a light load and jammed up my rear wheel on a fast downhill with a lot of traffic. I managed to stop, thankfully. Fortunately, it decided to fold right by a bike shop (seriously - it was less than 1/4 mile away) who managed to unjam it from the wheel as I could not, and I was able to ride home carrying my panniers on my back (I looped a bike wire lock through the place for straps and wore it back pack style). Had my own shop install a much better one later that day.
