I don't know where you read all this but I don't believe it. Having had Glowsteps for 6 years, I can assure you it is not correct.
There are 3 adjustments for the height of the top of the steps and 5 adjustments on the bottom of the legs. This allows for getting the steps level regardless of the slope of the terrain. And the latch mechanism is solid. Once latched and pinned, there is no way for it to come out. They are rock steady when deployed given the supports at the top and the ground at the bottom.
The Glowstep is still my first choice for steps!
You can read my previous post on glowsteps . Yes there is nothing I can do to get "ALL" four of my steps level. I'll repeat again ,went as far as talking on the phone with a rep. Changed the adjustment legs to the longer ones , gave them my measurements etc etc etc .Does not matter what adjustment I do , I try all three adjustments ,adjust the legs, but I do not get all four completely level ,believe it or not ,but it's a fact . I have tried everything . It is what it is .
As far as the latch system ,yes its solid . If you forget to pin it ,it falls just slightly ,and will scare you to death ,but won't cause an issue I guess unless someone panics .
The glow steps are far from my first choice , I spent 12 years with a three step set up that was suspended , solid , no need to adjust ,always level , NEVER an issues .
