Just curious about these locks; I'm sure they work well but are they really needed?

The reason I ask that is because when the awning is retracted it seems to be self locking where it won't go out unless the directional release lever is switched. Now I'm not saying that something couldn't cause it to switch without you knowing it but under normal operation shouldn't the mechanism in the awning keep it from un-rolling?
