My background deals with a lot of metallurgy.
"working" of steel is anytime it is under load, in this case compression/tension.
Over time your springs will weaken if they are left in tension with the safeties on. The steel wants to go back to its natural relaxed state.
Timeline, I have no idea. I always relax all of the springs on my traps when I store them.
Hasn't everyone looked at old traps to purchase where the safeties were left on...the ones that you can set a 330 by hand?
