Why should luggage or cargo carried in a passenger vehicle's storage compartment be secured rather than loosely piled?

Pick an answer

1. Securing luggage has no bearing on passenger safety
2. It is required only for luggage exceeding fifty pounds, since lighter items are considered too light to shift during normal travel
3. Unsecured items can shift during travel and become a hazard or fall out when the compartment is opened
4. Loose luggage is always safer than secured luggage
