as far as the hold down all you have to do is attatsh s clip or metal
plate to the rear with a screw. There must be enough clearance - maybe
12 inch or so - for it to to slide in easily when you drop the plate
in very easy but a holdown clip is for certain a good and safe idea.

Perhaps, but I've never seen one and have never heard of an incident the
insert being "thrown".


Still, why tempt fate? The one time it happens it's gonna clip the
mother-in-law in the back of the head and she's going to claim that you
did it deliberately and there's the end of domestic tranquility for the
next decade or so.
