All too often, safety tethers are noticed in marine supply stores but disregarded by motor boaters. Prominent among sailors for their use during windy conditions or nighttime boating to prevent overboard accidents, they also have significant utility on motor boats.
Insights from a recent simulated ‘man overboard’ scenario emphasized their usage. The heavy, unresponsive dummy, intended to mimic an unconscious person, proved challenging to handle while maintaining one’s balance on the boat. Attachment to the boat via a safety tether provided a tangible advantage, allowing for the use of both hands in recovery efforts.
Standard tethers often come with clips at both ends, with some variations featuring elasticity and multiple clips. This design allows the crew member to stay connected while moving across different attachment points on the boat, providing continuous security. For instance, it could be advantageous when dealing with a loose anchor on a rough sea day.
