I was just wondering about real world failures vs belt and suspenders approach to preventing failures. I totally understand the impact of a mid ocean failure. But what is the probability? Meteorite insurance?

In 25 years I’ve had one spring plate failure and two non-spring failures, both by Torflex where a bad batch of rubber delaminated from the attaching plate. Not sure any of them have a superior design or not.
