For a bit of extra security I have an OpTech connector also between the metal square on the strap and a separate point on the camera. This is just in case the quick release I use lets go, but it hasn't either.
I haven't had any issues with the screw.
I do check on it from time to time , but the carabiner portion does swing pretty freely so I think it's not likely that the screw will be undone easily. I will also note that I don't use it regularly, but if I did, I can imagine that the rubber on the screw mount may turn less grippy with time and overtightening. But at $8 it seems cheap enough to replace next time there's another sale.

Picture don't show complete product; such as a full look at the should straps. For this reason I am out.
This was typically during "all day" events where I was walking around with a heavier camera/lens and the movement from walking (and picking up/lowering the camera) had loosened it to where the camera itself just dropped to the ground.
Ever since then, I've added this to all of my blackrapids. It does make an extra "step", but it adds a second tether in case the screw comes out:

For the same reason, I stay away from the straps like these that have buckles in the back as anyone can simply "click" them and send your camera to the ground. I don't know if this MOVO strap is like that.
The way I see it, you're often dangling $1000 or more from a strap like this. Do you really want to trust the $8.00 strap with free shipping when even the $50-100+ ones have issues?
I ended up switching to the SpiderHolster system. It feels scary at first, but after the issues with the R-Straps? I've never had the spiderholster fail and have used it to carry as many as 4x cameras around at once when shooting events and have never had an issue. One wrong move though and you're dropping the camera to the ground.. but at least that would be your fault versus the strap loosening on its own and falling.
A tip for adding some assurance that has saved my Fuji several times is connecting a hairband (dollar store elastic type) from the camera D-ring to metal buckle that slides along the strap.
If your screw comes undone, the band will catch and swing. Since then, I keep a pack of those hairband in my camera bag. You get about 8-10 for a buck. Many uses.
