That is what the guard thing on the bottom is for
I remember when I was learning to fly a Cessna and I got the worst instructor... the old dude who owned the flying school (and the planes) and we were doing flapless landings and guess who banged the tail on the ground
.... first time ever 
He wasn't happy 
Then, the day I got signed off for my Australian License (with him) on a day blowing about 15 kts he said to take the plane to the gas pumps so I pulled up at the pumps and shut down.... he told me I passed
yayyyyy 
Then I opened my door and the wind grabbed it and slammed it onto the strut
He started hollering and cussing.... then opened his door and the wind slammed that into his side strut
He was twice as angry then, but couldn't say anything that I did it to my side, coz he did it too ..... no damage anyway
He is the same guy who would take the oil cap off the engine or put a business card on the dipstick before you did a preflight ..... then see if you noticed in the preflight.... then one day he was running late and I was at the plane already and I had taken an old oil filler cap from in the hangar in my pocket because I was going to hassle the instructor I thought was going to be with me.... he said to jump in and he would do a quick preflight (which I had already done) but I noticed he didn't open the engine inspection door to check the oil (which I had done) ..... after I took off I pulled the spare oil cap out of my pocket and said "Oh, shouldn't this be on the engine??"
He nearly shit! He went white.... so I said, "Just kidding"
But strangely, after that, he was a bit strange to me?? Dunno why?
