You don't load a weapon, point it at something, and pull the trigger to see if the safety works.
And yes, I have spoke protectors on the rear wheels of my bikes.
What does a dumb analogy about guns have to do with anything?
The bike appears to have a chainstay protector to guard against the very thing you're worrying about, if [MENTION=388230]Martian63[/MENTION]'s bike doesn't have one, he can correct me. Since chain slap has been known to happen for a very long time, I'd be very surprised if the bike had bare CF exposed to it.
