Keep in mind that spoilers are powered to be capable of rapid deployment even against a slipstream (relative wind) of ~120 knots after landing, or over 200 knots when used as speed brakes partially deployed in flight. So parked, with no wind/slipstream resistance to hold them back, they will slam up pretty smartly when tested.
