Default Capturing the end of a garage door spring when hook breaks off

When a garage door spring broke the other day, I fashioned a "fix" for

Does anybody have any experience with this approach and can tell me how
well it's going to work? *So far so good, but I'm a little nervous about it.

Thanks,

I would be too, since the other hooks are just as old. Good excuse for
a visit to O'Connor's.
