Nahhh, not a cheap shot at all, I would have said it. 
Thanks though, buoy.
Sure, it can be implied, you're right. Often, a person's perceptions become their reality.....I was thinking mostly about the granola-munching sailboater going to check out the article about 'another runaway go-fast,' and then seeing the flight pic of the cat with the party caption - I think you can see where I'm going with that. Just a bit of irony seeing those two side-by-side.

Wearing a wrist bands enables the brain to register the lanyard is in place. Put the ignition interrupt switches below or near the throttles and the wrist band on the throttle hand away from the helm.
If you have to leave the helm area (of course DIW or CA) the brain registers and you remove the lanyard. Like trying to get out of a car with your seat belt in place.
This is also why we only recommend the use of an actual tethered lanyard. Until such time as a completely passive system is engineered the basic lanyard is the best thing to use.
Remember lanyards and most safety equipment is a response mechanism. Primary to everything is to work on prevention. Learn to drive so you don’t get thrown out of the boat. Learn to understand so the boat does not get upset and learn what to do if it does so you don’t go sideways.
If a diver pops up in front t of you or a PWC crosses your path, you can get out, you just have to learn how.
In about four weeks we will have our own wrist band available in a few different colors. Of course as soon as they arrive I post a new thread.

Thats a great Idea, I never thought of the wrist, that would make it alot more convenient, I dont know how many times I would reach for something with the lanyard connected and kille the engines, I tend to forget about it.

They need to make the Lanyard with a velcro type wrist band i think....the slip fit neoprene thingy's they have that slide on your wrist is useless IMO.....on my previouse boats its always been clipped to my vest or to my shorts when i didnt have a vest on.......ive had a few too many experiences in the past with wave runners and those slip on wrist bands that slipped right off my wrist when i wiped out! Luckly the waverunners i was on had the idles turned down to the point they would die so i only had to swim a few hundred feet to get back to the ski......if not they would have kept going right along and onto shore or hit something else

Definitely check out Overtons.com and/or Boatersworld.com for some PWC lanyards and wristbands. There have been several informative threads and links posted in the past few weeks.

There's a reason they call it a "KILL" switch!!! It only takes common sense to realize that traveling in the dark....at speed...after drinking...without a "KILL" switch is a combination for catastrophy!!!

It is on its way.....I am having them made as we speak. They are nylon webbing with velcro adjustment and neopreme lined. For now just dog collar the lanyards around your wrist or order from overtons or anyone.
I have made them in a pinch with some very small nylon line. Looks ugly but it would work.
