I've gotten in the habit of walking around the car and giving each safety wire a wiggle to detect if it has tighted up at all, an indication that the spinner was starting to come loose. The first time I put my wheels on one did come a bit loose after a few drives - the safety wire was tight as a guitar string. So now, I really whack the hell out of them with my lead hammer - hasn't happened again, but I still check the safety wire after each drive.
