Abstract
A protective system for multi-part connections that prevents unintended disconnection, is inexpensive, and can be used regardless of the shape of the connectors which form the connection. The protective system allows interchanging of component connectors without compromising the protective function. The secured connection includes a first connector, a second connector shaped to engage the first connector and including a catch positioned to be accessible when the connectors are engaged, and a securing line shaped at a first end thereof to engage the first connector and at a second end thereof to be secured in the catch.
