if it were to happen to me id look at welding in a valve drain. Of course with some sort of lock mechanism or cover-- id hate to have road debri bounce up and knock the lever and all my oil out the bottom!

Copied from their site:
Q. Will my Engine Oil Drain Valve open up while I am on the road?
A. No. In its closed position the Engine Oil Drain Valve extends from the oil pan only about one half inch more than a standard oil drain plug. The valve's simple but effective locking system requires two distinct actions to open it and its heavy-duty construction will withstand any engine vibration. Over 2,000,000 Engine Oil Drain Valves have been sold in the past eight years and no problems have been reported.

You can safety wire the Fumotomo shut as well.
Ive got an EZ Drain:

Works great and no worries about the valve opening.
