Pros of the flipdown safeties
The
flip-down safeties will take many beatings before they break. While the safety pins will warp slightly after a full drop of a weight, the
flip-down safeties will stand tall. For pin squats and rack pulls they will also provide a better and more stable platform than pins and belts.
Cons of the flipdown safeties
The
flip down safeties are more expensive and weigh more than the safety belts and pins. This can be of disadvantage when you have to buy multiple units or have many beginners working out at your gym.
Alternatives to the flipdown safeties
Most rogue racks ship with safety pins as a standard. Pay attention to the detailed descriptions and if you are in doubt ask their customer support before the purchase.
Safety belts are another variation on pins. Their advantage is that they will not warp when you drop a weight from a high height in them. I personally find them hard to adjust for pin squats and rack pulls and prefer the pins or
flip down safeties.
Summary of the Flipdown safeties
The
flip-down safeties are a great investment, especially if you do not have to but multiple racks and can use the budget for yourself only.
