[edit] Safety

I think we need to talk about safty ain the articale espectily how to handle a runaway lineset! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.158.37.186 (talk • contribs).

I have two pictures of two different styles of a pin rail that I uploaded today. They're pretty high in the resolution. They can be found at Image:Small pin rail.JPG and Image:Fixed pin rail.JPG
