I'm not sure how it could do it ???
On my awning there is a lever on the end that I have to flip with the rod to unroll it. Then when I roll it up I have to flip the lever the other way. Once it is rolled up and the lever is flipped the awning won't unroll. (I know because I have tried to pull it out without remembering to flip the lever)
Also, there are little plastic locks that you flip down and lock after rolling the awning back up. (I'm not sure what those do though) then I screw the knobs for the support braces down tight and drive away.
It can do it, if the locking mechanism that the lever operates breaks, or if you forget to flip the lever. Saw it happen to a guy driving a Class C across the Mackinac Bridge.
