Nearly everything you do in life has an ascociated risk. Do you really think that anyone who takes a risk deserves the worst consequences? IMO Everyone is allowed to make a mistake here and there, and yes I always wear a shirt and a helmet now (which I used to do 99% of the time anyway), and I also won't make the mistake of running a split link on my KMC again. I think its the people that don't learn from their wrong doings and repeditively do stupid s**t that deserve any bad consequences that come their way. I was just pointing out what can happen when a split link gives up. Have no Idea about the khe but I wouldn't use a link in a chain that has material missing from the pins to seat a skinny circlip, I don't think there is any way this could be as strong as a proper link.
