The first time I flew with a Pelican......the latches were open....
Since then when I used a Pelican I duck tapped the latches down.
same thing here, i'd used blk duct tape, then later added straps over the latches (a poor design if you ask me), now i just don't bother with them anymore.
I have 2 Pelican cases, and the latches require some effort to open. I do not believe that pressure from inside the case caused the latches to open because Pelican cases have a valve so that outside air pressure is equalized inside the case. Perhaps the latches were opened when the cases were flipped against other luggage, or perhaps you guys ran into an inquisitive "ramp rat". In any case, taped down latches is cheap insurance.
