Is this Good or Bad?

Is this a smart thing to do? I don't know how thos works but say your on on a trail, and a rock gets trown up near the Valve, could it open the valve and start draining your oil wit out you knowing? I'd like to hear what the more Serious Off-Roaders think about this, so how about it Guy's? Let hear your thoughts on this.....
 






It would be VERY difficult if not impossible to open the valve accidentally. It is hard to describe, but in the closed position the lever is sitting firmly within a spring-loaded detent. It isn't going to get opened by hitting something.
