Question on using a tailgate

If you Ave a truck camper that fits within the length of your truck bed, and you can close the tailgate, what happens if you are in the camper and someone closes it? Are you trapped inside the camper?

My previous camper fit so I could leave the tailgate on and closed, loved having the back porch. Always worried about the same thing and was going to drill a hole through the hinge post and just drop a bolt in it. The casual person messing around would never see it if they were trying to lock you in. I instead wrapped a short ball bungie around the latch assembly so the tailgate wouldn't close the few times I was concerned that it might get shut.

Each camper has emergency exit on front.
Make sure it opens easy.
