Driveshaft safety loop?

Anyone know where I can find a diveshaft safety loop?
Or is this something I'll have to fabricate...

I don't know of any on the market you'll need to make it.

Hey mech, should I build two.
This is a long bed crew cab with the two-piece driveshaft.
Last night, upon launch, the center u-joint went (I think, not sure of the culprit yet), the front half of the shaft came out the left the rear half went out right.
Would this warrant two safety loops?

Just looked under the truck...
The center support bearing looks like it was ripped off the frame (maybe the culprit).

Did you try Jegs or Summit racing? They might have something...

Yea, if I have to buy something to modify, I'll just make my own.
