That's just the point.... you had it "layin' there". If you close it so it latches, IT WILL NOT OPEN!! I don't care how hard you hit the brakes.
The rubber straps on the sides are exactly what Tim said they are for, to keep the sideways movement to a minimum.... providing you close the latch completely, there is no reason for the hood latch to become undone unless you pull the hood release cable.
