I don't think this would be a concern with this bag because the hooks aren't holding the weight of the bag, they just keep it from flapping around. If your bag is full you don't even really need to hook it in, the saddle takes care of the load. There is even two velcro strips along the top of the saddle section to hold more stuff on top of the rack.
