Eduardo, I think this makes reference to:

where the stitching is being pulled apart under load.

Brings up another good point though, many people clip their biner simply through the
end of their daisy and then, to shorten it, clip also through another 'rung'. This creates
the same potential for 'unzipping' to the end and coming off which is why another
practice is to 'larks foot' the biner on in the first place:
