My Brother-in-law is a good (bad) example of that. He was hauling a full size sofa down the freeway in the bed of a pickup. He thought that it was big enough to hold its self in without tying it.
He lost it out of the bed of the truck. The wind created enough lift to take it right up and out of the truck.
In the case of the luggage, I looked at it, didn't feel comfortable with it, and decided to change lanes and pass it. It came off when I was right up next to it, so I saw it all go, but wasn't in line with it. It must have been a bad vacation for them.
When you look on the side of the freeway, you see everything like you mentioned. 5 gal buckets, coolers, step ladders, etc.
I'm wary every time I see something in the bed of a pick up truck now.
