  The short version of why we do not use metal to metal stage connections:

 Dave, if you got hung up on wreck, for example, you need to be able to cut 
yourself free. Same with stuck , etc. There should be some line between the 
metal components in case the snap jams, which it will do if it gets hit or if
it gets sand in it.

SNIP:

Obviously the same reason why to tie the bolt snaps on to your hose and NOT
to route your hose through the loop in the bolt snap.  If it gets caught or
jammed what are you going to do........cut your hose?
