I would really love having this clamp as a measure of precaution. Is it
possible to attach this clamp to Kahuna or Big Kahuna ribs?

I think so too.  It must be very deep shoving that helps me when I tuck it
in for a second time (after it came off). Still I can't sense any pronounced
locking when I do that. May be that "clicking feeling" is that subtle, or
I'm not that observant, anyway chances are that I could tuck it not deep
enough again.
