I had a situation on the weekend where in 17kts of wind I came in off the wire and could not throw my tiller extension away for a tack... it had gone through the arm hole of my harness and was sticking out behind me. Now the boat is turning and I am thinking, "this is gonna get interesting in a few seconds"... anyway I struggled/paniced and had to launch myself past the front beam to remove the skewer from my armpit.. funny now but at the time extremely scary. Anyway at the time I had my rashy/PFD/Ronstan Jacket then harness. I think I might put my jacket on last to stop any reoccurances. Next time I may not be so lucky.
