In that theoretical instance, somebody could have taken a hammer to the railings and shattered them, walking away with the bike in seconds. Railings should be a last resort and if you're stuck with them, try to get one of your locks around one of the thicker edge/top bars. Sucks that, in many places, railings are still the only option.
