Ending The Round Loaded

Since many of teams are building catapults with fairly high powered and dangerous ball launchers with lots of surgical tubing etc. what safety precautions are your teams taking if your robot ends a round while your catapult is pulled back in the "cocked" or "loaded" position?

We are looking are making a safety device or clamp for our team to restrain the catapult if it ends loaded at the end of the round.

Is your team working on something to make it safe to move your robot if your robot ends a round with the launcher ready to fire?
