He should start strapping his helmet also.

So what do you guys prefer for tethers? Handlebar mount clipped to your wrist? How about the in-dash unit by the key? Clipped to your belt?

I've also seen several different kinds. The button hold down cap, the clip that holds the button up, and even an interrupt tab key.

What's your preference? What stays out of the way? What works best?

I'm really happy with the tether I got from Pro Armor. Fits on my proclimb bars nicely and has worked flawlessly so far.

It would be cool to see a tether style switch that would apply the brakes somehow.

since Shawn's accident, everyone in my group wears a tether. I should have started years ago but, pure stupidity on my part prevented tether use.
last march my wife was pulling a good side hill and caught a rock, got bucked off, sled went for a little ghost ride. bumped a tree...$200. without a tether it would have been and insurance claim. we just got her sled free and headed down when we found a fellow with an 800 cat upside down running wide open... scary! seeing that track screaming like that. the guy was jerking on a ski trying to roll it over toward himself. another member of our group stopped him from tipping his sled and dug for the kill switch to get it stopped.

anyway, the main function of the tether is to prevent the sled eating you after it has thrown you off. helping with a ghost ride is just a side benefit.
