Anyone have any experience they can share with using quick releases on their trap harnesses? Had a scary experience last weekend where my girlfriend 's harness hooked the downhaul lines of all things as she slid down the tramp when we capsized. When the settled on its side she was suspended in the air and eventually dragged the mast down until the boat turtled with her under it. Thanks to the excellent volunteers at the F16 National's event I had help almost I instantly and was able to free her seconds after going under, but scary nonetheless.





. We both have knives that came with our harnesses that would have cut the line, but would be ineffective on ss wire. I found these quick release spreaders on APSLTD. Anyone used them? I'd like to hear some discussion, talked to a few people afterwards and have heard some similar stories and even heard of a couple deaths.
