Wow, I feel so safe now! Totally out of control and reasonable dialog.

I agree. If guys would just use steel self locking nuts (not fiber locks
) and keep an eye on them and the welds on the tabs, there would be no problems. Just start to bar the guys that loose them from running any more events, they would pay more attention.
And, I bet Jack used a real good grade coat hanger. LOL
