Sure. For a smaller object you can always hope that it slides against the rear backrest rather than jump above it. For a spare wheel there is little hope

Anyway, my personal opinion is that this aspect of car safety has been completely overlooked so far by manufactureres and testing organisations, and I also think crash tests should be performed with heavy objects in the boot.
