Not to me , I have never had a clip style fail in over 30 years of riding, dirt or street so where is the worry? If it's put on correctly it won't go anywhere. The pins and side plates are just as strong and the clip holds them together, not much force on that.Had a chain fail with a few of those in it but it wasn't the clip style master that failed and the chain had more miles on it than any chain ever should.



+1! I've never had a chain on anything, ever, that didn't have a masterlink. Never broke a chain, NEVER!
Always took the chains off the dirt bikes to clean & lube, I couldn't imagin the hassel if not for the masterlink.
I've had some very powerful bikes (i.e. Kawasaki 450 single MX two stroke, and the H1 & H2),done some insane holeshots, but never broke a chain. (of course, I've never had a Boss Hoss)
