Odd Accident Overseas

[Ratickle]

This happened in South Africa, but I'm wondering how many of us actually do wear our lanyards when we are doing things like towing someone on a tube? I know I wouldn't have been. I would have figured the speeds were too slow to worry about it....

I'm more and more in the habit of fastening my lanyards regardless of speed; seems now to be a very good idea.

WOW
Terrible
SAD
RIP

I cannot truthfully say that I have ever attached mine once.
Something for me to reconsider for sure !!

I rarely attach it. I'm reconsidering also.....
