I certainly don't think so.

Bob,

Can you, or anyone else, point to any accident that was caused by
incorrectly assembled Hoteliers when a safety device, such as a pin,
was installed in all fittings. I know of none.

I used to carry spare pins and give them to other pilots had had not
previously used them.
