Any chance the mounting hardware could pull through or break bottom of the box from bumps or heavy braking? I would guess everything is super secure in there so any braking heavy enough to cause the inertia to rip the box off the mounts would probably mean some other more serious shit is going down.

grade 8 bolts + nylock nuts to attach the box to the tubing, and frame. there are washers at both ends to ensure the clamping force is spread out.
i imagine there is some chance but it'd probably be crash-force braking, the plastic is extremely dense. all in all by the time i'm done there will be 8 mounting points on the bottom. if it rips off, yeah, things are looking like i'm either in a tree or upside down.
