Yes I know what you mean Tony.
I've been in the same situation and it's bloody frightening when that lead is heading your way.
But as you said because the angler hasn't clipped the lead in properly its not the fault of the gear it's the angler that's not using the gear safely and not correctly so it's the angler at fault.
Its like using 80lb shock leader but not tying the knot correctly to the end gear and it comes away during the cast.
The thought of hitting someone with a 6 ounces of lead worries me all the time and that's why I take extreme care when I'm power casting and I said before if anyone is in the danger area I don't pendulum.
Must admit harry i always duck when anyone is casting just in case,,,,,you never know!! :-O,,,lol
Most the places I fish 100yds or less will put you into fish anyway so never need to power cast,,,,,,,not that I can like!!!,,,Lol
Cheers
