BD suggests simply using a second biner on the stitch loops and clipping that to the fist biner on the end of the daisy (biner on biner), to eliminated the risk.
Tie an overhand knot in the daisy between the two carabiner-attachment points.
Big problem then is that tying a knot significantly weakens the whole runner -- rather substantially for materials like Dyneema + Spectra -- so I can see why the BD video didn't mention this possibility.
