Should the hook-and-loop enclosure on residential items close firmly?

The Hook-And-Loop fasteners on Blast Zone Residential items must have just enough tension to keep the opening generally closed, but be easy for children to open. ASTM Standard F963 requires the tension of the Hook-And-Loop enclosure to be below a certain threshold. While this may seem "loose," this safety standard is a law required by the consumer product safety commission to allow for easy "escape" for children in the case of deflation.
