Bungee cords seem like a good idea, but not sure how much tension you can get on them (seems like they might be tricky to install. If they do work, you might also have another way of securing pizza pan discs too (3-5 L brackets to locate the disc to the rim, and a pair of bungees to hold the disc to the rim face).
The movie that I played inside my head depicted all but one wire shearing,and before the last one let go,that the disc would be accelerated into the body or launched in any direction when the last wire snapped loose.
If it shot rewards it could shatter the windshield of a following vehicle,rendering them momentarily blind.Potentially disastrous!
