QFT! I won't use clip on mater links for this reason. I've seen too many fly off! Btw AMJ aren't you supposed to press the plate into place on a clip master link? UKR mentioned that he just "held" it tight with vise grips to get the clip on... I did a guy's chain who showed up with a clip style. I pressed it together and then just popped the clip on with silicone. Still don't like it...
