Flip up sights are also designed to support the "flipped up" portion against recoil force. For example: My MBUS front sight post body would swing forward against just a spring in the sight if installed backwards on a heavy recoil rifle. Installed correctly, the body of sight attached to the rail supports the post when flipped up. It would also catch and snag against brush and such much easier walking forward if installed backwards.
