Hi contraposition
To "strap down" is a phrasal verb that means "to secure something tightly with a strap or belt". It is usually used when talking about luggage being secured, for example on a bicycle or it can be used for people if they are being restrained for some reason, e.g. in a car, or if they are being tortured.
