The only way I see it swinging down onto the tire is if that bracket connected to the fork crown bends (a lot) or pulls loose from the fork. It's hard to tell how beefy it is from the angle of the photo. That said, it doesn't look like the sturdiest design but I think it could hold a backpack with a few books in it or a purse.
