I got one and it looks and works great. Also I wear it every time boat is above idle speed. Thanks again Brad

We really dont make any $$ off of these just thought it would be a good product to send the safety message and promote the school.

Thanks for the feedback.

I think it is a great product and is EXACTLY what a boater needs to securely attach the lanyard to himself. I plan on ordering one. Guess I need to get off OSO and sign onto PayPal.

Thank You TM..


The wrist band is very simple but very effective. It is basic Human Factors Engineering.

Think of trying to get out of your car with your seatbelt on and then relate thought to how many times you have inadvertently killed your motors due to the lanyard attached or been on plane attempting to attach it because it was forgotten.

The wrist band connects the brain and with proper initial thought and repetitive behavior can eliminate the use of your boat without wearing it.

Dude, Sweet, Pantera!

You guys need to have another great event so I have an excuse to fly back to Cali.

I had a great time thanks for the hospitality.

I always wear a Lifeline jacket and kill switch lanyard when in my flat bottom. Usually wear a helmet as well.
In the Fountain I had only been wearing it on occasion, when in a poker run or very rough water. After reading this thread I think I will wear it all of the time. I just sent money to Tres Martin for the wrist bracelett.
