& the dog runs past & bumps the handle or some one walks past & kicks it. 
They need some sort of pin that can go through the top & bottom 1/2 so that if the handle gets bumped they cant fall all the way. Maybe some sort of chain that holds the handle in position. What you have is a potential single contingency failure that can kill with no back up.
Its like walking around with a 45 in your pocket without the safety on.
