Heavy bags falling out of a locker would be more of a concern for me
Exactly my point Even worse if an overloaded section of locker comes down with potentially a couple of hundred kilos of baggage in it...

THANK YOU EASYJET FOR COMPROMISING OUR SAFETY - WITHOUT YOU, THE CABIN BAG WEIGHT LIMITS WOULD STILL BE IN PLACE!
Many of the airlines I've flown with recently have advertised a 10kg limit in the small print, unfortunately its rare for bags to actually be weighed at check-in...surely if the aircraft weight and balance is calculated assuming 10kg of hand luggage per pax, if everyone arrived with 23kg, this could make a significant difference to gross aircraft weight, even on a 737/A320 type? In my opinion the volume of hand luggage is a problem which really needs to be addressed by the airlines on the busier routes...it really isnt fair when someone turns up with nothing but a large briefcase, only to find no locker space as many others have oversize luggage or more bags than permitted.
