What's the entanglement scenario with a calf tether?

They seem to have come from the stand-up-paddle board crowd - who
paddle relatively large boards (10-12 feet long) and use them in
the surf.  

With the one I'm testing, the only thing I see is that it might
be *too* easy to remove.   It's just Velcro with a one-inch tab
of webbing hanging out. The Velcro overlay is about 3-5 inches
depending on leg size/wetsuit thickness.   You grab the tab and
pull - not very hard, even - and the thing comes loose.

Am I missing something?
