If the laden top drawer is extended fully outwards, does it tip forward?

In your case, your assessment of the situation might suffice. Just
check, no climbing kids in the house?


I wonder how well a fixing into plasterboard would resist the interia of a
falling piece of furniture and child?


If it's a 6 foot high bookcase, say, the strap is fixed at the top and
has a leverage advantage of around 10:1, allowing for a child hanging
around 6 inches in front of the book case. There shouldn't be a lot of
slack in the strap, so inertia isn't really a big issue.
