    I don't tie a monkey's fist - just a double square knot at the end of the rope. Like yourself, I worry that someone or something might get caught in a loop, that I don't want to be caught in the loop. Any sort of a loop in a non-stationary line says "snare" to me. Oh - the monkey's fist. I seriously don't remember how to tie it. Maybe I'll look it up, and try to remember . . .
