Hunter Safety teaches that any mechanical safety can fail, and so should never be 100% trusted.

The only "real" safety is between your ears, BUT for all too many people, this "safety" can also fail, or fail to be engaged. Sad, but all too true.

Endless repetition of this well known fact, while true, does not advance this discussion. We're looking at which mechanical systems are good/better/best, and why you think so, or not...
