Not easy. Inertial still exists, as they found out on Mir with the
collision!

In the case of the bags inside the bag, or indeed other items inside bags or
attached to suits, these do seem to have a history of coming undone either
by being nudged open or just not working correctly and latching shut.

It was interesting to listen to the station before the Shuttle arrived when
they were packing toolkits and the observed differences in stiffness and
other parameters on some of the items.

Maybe there needs to be regular checks on things like this. It seems that
although the items came up on Shuttle, the various bags etc, were already on
orbit and had been used already.

Maybe there is a case for ?some netting ?to catch such things.

Mind you, that could be more of a problem in itself.

Its the law of Sod you know. The one time you want something to hold, it
will fail or not be attached securely enough in the first place.
