Always stow all objects securely in the luggage compartment.
Loose objects can fall out of the luggage compartment and

Always mark objects sticking out from the luggage

Never use the rear hatch to clamp or hold objects that stick out
of the luggage compartment.
Always remove any luggage rack or other rack mounted on the
rear hatch (along with any luggage on the rack) before driving
with an open rear hatch.
