Everyone forgets to put in the pin once but seldom more than once. The next worry is making sure you don't forget to put in the plugs. I don't have the problem because I don't take them out but twice a year. I check to be sure there is no water in the hulls at the beginning of the season and once during the season to make sure there are no leaks.

It is a good idea to inspect everything like a pilot checking a plane before you go out. I found a shackle on the forestay coming loose once. Another good idea is to tape the split rings on the shroud pins.
