The OP says the doors were properly closed using whatever latching mechanism the manufacturer installed and the doors opened due to driving down the road. Assuming the design was to keep the doors closed when driving down the road, then of course the design is flawed.
Manufacturers often use **** inadequate to the job when building trailers. Why cry operator error when it's the manufacturer's design and install that failed?
Many, many years ago (when common sense was common) latches had a positive catch to insure they would stay closed. It is only because of excessive cost cutting that we have the almost useless devices currently used.
