Does anyone know if the 'hold open' stays mounted on the inner face of the cowl door actually flail about when a door opens during T/O /flight ?

The Youtube vid showing cowl doors being opened and 'stayed' doesn't show the stowage fixing for the engine end of a stay - spring clip(s) or requiring a tool - or both ?
The demo' engineer appears to merely unclip a stay.

If these items flail around in the slipstream prior to door breakup one could imagine engine ancillaries possibly taking a fair old whacking.
