I've got a MINI Cooper and can easily cause my 2610 to become dislodged from the dash going around a ramp (albeit admittedly at just below escape velocity). I would definitely not trust one in an accident, but *most* of the time, they're probably acceptable. It's definitely the most convenient way to mount a GPS in a rental car, where they frown on sticking things to or drilling holes in the dash. :-) The problem with bean bag mounts is that they don’t “prevent *any* slippage”.
