How do I make my extension springs safer?

Older extension springs that don't have the safety cable or the safety bracket/ lock are more likely to fly off their mounts if they snap. This action is very similar to how a rubber band flies after getting pulled and released. If you want to be safer, you either need to have a safety cable run through your extension springs or have them replaced with newer, safer ones.
