I have used quick release on my pair for about five years without mishap,
both on the traces and the yoke. I do use the large size with strong spring
closure. And check/double check that the pin is securely seated in the
shackle each time. The configuration for the breast bar is directly from the
bar to the Dee ring or kidney link using only the quick release shackle. I
think that not completely "seating" the pin is the most likely point of
failure.
I have had to correct that on occasion when I have helpers not familiar with
Q. R. shackles.

Question for the CDE pair drivers. Do you use quick releases on your pole
yoke? We do. BUT, we have had them come open. I would be interested to
hear what others do. Paul has a new pair carriage (Van der Heuval) with a
relatively wide yoke compared to our other poles.
