goose egg/big error in saab advertising?

Was looking through the "state of independance" campaign ads on the saab website today. Noticed in the "safety" section, slide 4 of 5, that 4 diving tanks were strapped in the hatch of a sedan. This seems like stupid placement to me. If you get hit from behind and knock the regulators off the tanks wouldn't you also kill the occupants pretty good?
Is that the idea of the "load shift protection"? I can imagine the tagline, "an ox-acetelyene tank will go through a cinder block wall if the regulator is knocked off, but hey, our load-shift protection will save you!"
Am I incorrect in this assumption? I remember having this conversation with a friend once while carrying a large propane tank in his truck.
