In my experience,, with that particular model, it's not a "hard stop" when rested against the handle. It doesn't take much for it to slip by the handle if you press too hard (which would lead it to close shut). Your friends gotta be careful is all.
Fortunately, for decades now... I do this with all my reels, as well as close the bail by hand as well. It's so much healthier for the reel.
Tell your buddy, once he gets used to it, he won't even think about it anymore...and his reels will love him for it.
