I am just thinking something that is a little more fireproof, I would imagine a small blast going off nearby might produce enough residual heat to melt the cords, so if they were some sort of carbon based wire, or something more fire and damage resistant. Im just trying to think how you could make them less susceptible to damage. I am not sure how often these need adjusting, would it not be possible to cover all the wiring with a plate? or would it be a pain to keep taking off?
