Interesting video, the test shows the bolt in shear, our small end bolts are in tension providing a clamping force to the small end with no relative movement of the bolt within it's hole.I do not feel this test is applicable to small end bolts, and therefore to the use of spring washers in this location.
I always use rectangular section spring washers and agree with Ruairidh's modus operandi.
