Does anyone actually "Use" their lanyard?

[Glassman]

I'm just curious if anyone actually clips their "kill switch" lanyard to themselves/life jacket?

I keep it clipped to a Mustang Survival Belt : http://www.diycontrols.com/p-9228-m...ype-iii.aspx?gclid=CI7uxvWi1MACFU2RfgodEH8ALA
Which I keep behind my back in the seat. If it gets rough or I feel the urge to do something very stupid coming on, I can clip it around my waist in 2.5 seconds. Granted, the belt probably wouldn't help keep my head above water if I were knocked unconscious, but it would save a lot of time looking for the body. I'm very thoughtful that way.

Has anyone tried the wireless clip on one? Pretty expensive to buy, but WAY higher chance I'd actually wear that one

I never use mine ... but know I should be using it.

I must confess - I never use mine either. But I usually don't exceed 28-30 mph - only if I find myself alone on glass do I open her up. I don't do spins or subs, and drive pretty conservatively.

I had an instance where the guy that was towing me in a tube fell out of the boat, throttle pegged, no lanyard. It took quite a while to catch the boat and stop it. A lanyard would have prevented it all. Cam.

Accidents happen.....

A boat driver turned too sharply Sunday, launching himself from the boat and sending it corkscrewing down the Intracoastal Waterway with a woman on board.
The accident happened about 5 p.m. and caused minor injuries, said Master Officer Chris Holmes of the Wildlife Resources Commission, which is investigating the boating accident with the Coast Guard. Holmes said a family was out on the boat Sunday afternoon. A man and woman were on board and a child was on an innertube.
