This advertisement about the Wichard self-locking shackles appears to be true:
Quote:
The self locking pin is designed for your safety. Small indentations in the shackle engage the head of the pin. Final tightening then creates the tension that locks the pin in place. Even the most violent vibrations will not loosen the pin.

Got it. Tried it. At least at critical hold points, seems like a no-brainer.
