We took a couple of the smallest spring loaded cafe curtain rods we could 
find (short, small diameter) and use them as rails across the front of  the 
icebox interior to keep things from flying out. Works well when we are 
slightly heeled or when the icebox is really full. Won't help if you are 
really heeled. They've rusted some after a couple of years but they still 
work and are cheap to replace.
