I would have to go along with Hotrod Lincoln's advice about taking the pressure off of the torque tube when disconnecting it. When I was a lot younger, I had one come down just missing me. Needless to say it got my attention and I have always put a safety chain on them after that. It sure got my attention and the chain is great for peace of mind.
Just for what it is worth.
