Rafters are usually the pieces of wood in a roof. I think you meant studs. Outside of that, that's exactly what OP should do, proper and safer way than anything else. It is just a week end project too.

The railing was at the edge of a loft, so the anchorage was to a steeply sloping ceiling. They would indeed have been studs if it had been a vertical wall.

Now, that makes sense. Out of context, it was weird.
