Oopsa Daisy! Using your daisy chain appropriately.

Dynamic falls on a Daisy Chain  can be fatal. Even slipping of a belay stance, while anchored by your Daisy Chain could mean "goodbye".

Having said that instead of a Daisy Chain I personally use a Blue Water  version of this - http://www.grivel.com/products/rock/accessories/56-Daisy+chain

Each loop is rated to 22 KN rather than the 3 KN of a traditional Daisy Chain.
