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.

There are some anchor points in the back of my X1. I have similar points in the back of my mini to which I have fitted a net to hold the loose objects. Not sure if there is a similar accessory for the X1 but would probably be a good idea to fit a similar one.
PS: Many, many years ago I was involved in an accident as a front passenger. I would have been fine except I got hit in the back of the head by a speaker that broke free of the rear parcel shelf.
No jokes now
