Exactly my reaction.  I can think of about a half dozen things that can
go wrong in a setup using bungee to hold a kayak down.  Whoever

No wonder that boat slipped off the foam pad in the near-accident you
had that was mentioned in a snipped part of your posting.

Always use webbing straps or rope.
