Yeah- it's not auto locking. I'd be concerned a little riding it without a back up, but wire down the loop, or add some loctite and I'd be happier with it.

My recommendation for backing up a twisted clevis:
Get 1' of zing-it throwline. Fold the throwline around the clevis (not the pin) and bury the half the throwline into itself forming a tight eye. You essientially just made a 6" piece of zingit double braid with a super tight eye.
Install...
MB- I never owned a gibbs. I've used them before. Oh- and I've met the the pres of the company...Mr. Gibbs himself- but never owned one.
And the guy in the pic is using a gri-gri, or maybe an I'D. That rope comes out of it properly at a downward angle. On the gibbs it comes ot 90 degrees...
I don't know exactly what size you need for your particular adjuster, but maybe these guys can help:

Yep, the Master Blaster's lanyard is definitely being pointed upward.
I notice that you have it attached with a carabiner. Do you take it off/on often? With the twisted clevis, it is a bit less convenient to take off/on.
