i think the idea of an extending one which when yanked like a seat belt will no longer extend and just comes out. Otherwise, when moving marks, get your crew or just becareful about moving around.

You should stop the engine when working ground tackle especialy if you are on your own.
Just imagine what would happen if just after you have put the weight over the side the line flipped over the throttle and pulled it into gear in up to full power? |

If it doesn't break it's too heavy; if it does it wasn't built right

Just to add my 2p..
If you check you club insurance I think you will find that wearing of a killcord is mandatory. On ours we have to wear the killcord and have a spare 'key' so if the driver goes overboard the engine can be restarted by the crew. We have the new style morse controls which have a spare killcoard 'key' clipped in (again an insurance requirement for the new controls). As for wearing on the leg it is fine as long as you adjust the ankle strap so it will not slip off. Paul |

Indeedy, but would you rather have an evening sail at a club "at your own risk" with no safety cover, or at a club where you have a paid qualified member of staff in an up to date and well equipped RIB looking after you? They're just guidelines at the end of the day... |

You know you are getting old when the rescue crew seems so young !
