I would like to know if anyone else has experienced this

I have a bigfoot on my side stand, on rough terrain I have experienced it a few times now that the bike cuts out, presumably as the sidestand releases the switch.
Last weekend I even resorted to holding the stand up with a bungy cord just to avoid throwing myself over the bars and off a mountain side.

Are my springs shot? Or is the bigfoot just too heavy?
