Switched to safety wire after a close call at Oshkosh last year

Was watching a crew button up a radial engine when a loose bolt flew off and hit my arm. Seeing that wire hold everything else in place made me ditch safety clips for good. Anybody else had a moment that made them switch up their go-to methods?

Jumped in right after @thompson.brian's story... same exact thing happened to me with a cowling bolt.

Yep, safety wire saved my bacon once too.
