If the way you attach your reins won't give with the severe pull, such as 
the horse would make stepping on them, then you may want to reconsider.

I dunno. I gave up scissor snaps after my third one broke while riding. I 
wasn't even pulling the reins, was crossing a river with slack reins. I figure 
I'd rather put a break away piece in the middle of the reins, or have a 
headpiece on my bridle that would break than have something that might come 
loose when my horse decides he wants to race in and camp's right behind the 
finish line.
