IMO the APIs are overly complicated and there's no proper dev tools to test and debug the code. There's a few testing frameworks out there but I'm not really sure how well they work considering how often this happens. I don't get why there isn't some straight forward way to build failsafes into these contracts.

I imagine the process of "building a failsafe" is just as bug-prone as writing the main contract. It's just more code, after all.
