Cotter pin bending depends on your personality. Normally, I bend the long one just enough to keep the pin in the hole. That way if I ever need to get it out and reuse it (and I’m in the middle of Tim-Buck-Too) it is less likely to break and remain useable. But, if I foresee a situation where there may be a chance of something getting caught on it, I develop my uncle’s personality which is to bend both sides opposite ways and tuck them in as tight to the shaft as possible. Normally this really ticks me off as it makes it very hard to work with them, almost impossible to get them straight again, and makes them very susceptible to breaking when visiting Tim-Buck-Too and an emergency arises.

Bottom line is to use your common sense. There is really no wrong way to bend a cotter pin unless it falls out or gets hooked on someone or something.
