Most people use the rings incorrectly. Simply placing the ring through the  
hole in the turnbuckle isn't enough. It also has to go around one side of 
the  turnbuckle.

Rummy,

I was thinking the same thing.  The shroud that  came loose on my boat was
one of the ones that was recently repaired and I  never checked the ring
install.  I wonder if there was ever a ring in  it.

If the ring goes through the hole in the clevis pin it seems that  the ring
would need to be bent loose beyond all recognition in order for it  to fall
out.
