Expert Reply:
Yes you can put the breakaway pin back into the switch of your breakaway setup. While they sometimes can end up damaged if they are pulled at an angle they are not considered to be one-time-use switches. In event yours is damaged you could replace the whole setup with the part # HM20010 as well.
