I've weighed that as well and at this point, it may not make any difference. But you are absolutely correct. If it's not significant damage, and you are driving solo, you may be forced to pay for any damage caused by the extra bag going off. Certainly a consideration. I can only imagine what it would cost, but my gut would say between $1000-2000 out of pocket potentially.
