maybe, but I don't walk around with it clipped in like that, I usually open my bag, get out my lights and computer, attach and take off lock, put lock in bag, flip back around and hop on bike.. I then clip the carabiner as I exit the parking garage or the area where I locked up. And when I get to a destination I unclip (usually before I'm off the bike) switch out lock for lights and computer, and flip the bag around and don't clip it back on. So the only way that would really come into play would be if someone grabbed the bag while I was riding, in which case I'm gonna be going down even if it wasn't clipped on. Really i'm just justifying why I'm not gonna spend the time or money to go find another clip when I've got this one that has been working fine for about half of my lifetime.
