signfan Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 With my 3 year old riding with me some this year I’ve got in the habit of actually wearing my tether cord. Stops me from leaving the sled running when I’m not on it. I can just imagine the mess if he grabbed the throttle. Would not be fun for anyone. Also found this article. Not nice. Seems like a good habit we should all make a point of adopting. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/runaway-snomobile-accident-bc-1.4559577 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Techdenis007 Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 I wear mine on occasions when I'm riding on long trips at an aggressive pace or when surrounding traffic is "questionable". It should be used at all times, by rights.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrhz06 Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 I wear mine about 75% of the time. Same as Dennis, when on a longer trip or riding a bit more aggressively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skidooboy Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 get a wrist lanyard, makes it easy to utilize, with little effort . I try to wear it as much as possible. just do a search of youtube and see peoples sleds running into trees, or eating human body parts with no tethers on the sleds. several people have lost life, and limb(s).

FIRE242 Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Wear my tether all the time. Just like my Tek Vest on at all times. You never know when something is going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FIRE242 Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 See so many sleds with the tether hooked to the bars just makes me shake my head. The tether is there for a reason. Maybe it’s the job I retired from after 30 years. Saw lots of things that can happen to people being a firefighter. Any type of prevention offered can only help you or maybe someone else. Something else I found interesting on our recent trip to Quebec. I was putting on my Tek Vest in the restaurant which was a popular sled stop. Waitress said she had never seen anyone wearing one before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
