Re: Snap Shackle vs Carbiner

Panic snaps release when you grab the barrel and pull. They will release 
under tension but will stay clipped when slack. I think this is what 
you're looking for.

Looking at pics of surf ski racers and outrigger canoeists, I see some 
calf tethers. It appears that the surf ski crowd has different ideas 
about tethers than the sea kayak crowd. I seem to recall that Chris Duff 
used some form of tether on one of his cir***navigations, but my case of 
CRS prevents me from providing details
