I've used a surfboard leg rope ankle strap attached to the traveller rope, I can release the ankle strap velcro under load and the cat ends up capsized when I fall off. Tricky to remain untangled while tacking and gybing. I sail a one up, light weight, unspinnakered cat. Falling off the side and pulling the traveller on may have no effect on aircraft carrier type cats.
