Not at all. This will be my first time inspecting actually. Your point stands strong; safety is relative. I think the head refs should take a good look at these mechanisms, but it ultimately relies on teams' judgement when designing. If you build a mechanism that moves at high speeds with sharp hooks without at least 2 safety latches, don't be mad when the inspectors fail you.
I like the single hook grabbers the best because they can be built with easy failure points. That and there's less to get tangled with compared to a bar-behind-RC grabber.
