If you have toggles attached to a U-bolt in the deck (my preference), you should arrange the line to have no loops that allow fingers or hand to be trapped.

Thanks for the explanation and photos.

I am curious as to the details of the U-bolt installation. Do you mount it after the deck has been glassed, but before the end pour is done? Sorry if the answer to that seems obvious.

Thanks.
John U.
