If everyone wrapped their lanyards around the handlebars, and we all have done haven't we, then the lake management would see an know that the skiers are then effectively skiing without insurance.
We have the first round of our Freestyle National Tour, and everyone is going to have to wear a lanyard!!!

Get different insurance? Call the insurance company, let them know whats up, and have them designate you an area for events. Once they know that its experienced, safe riders, they will allow it. Besides, honestly, you can argue all day with anyone about the lanyard thing. I have a spare "key" that doesnt have a lanyard, so I wear the lanyard on me. YES it is technically breaking rules. But Im willing to chance it, because the cops here dont care. I've had a ski without a lanyard forever.
Heres a though, make your ski self-circling. That might get around it!

I think a ski that shuts off with the lanyard can be more dangerous than a ski that shuts off with the idle turned down... last season I broke 2 lanyards while messing around... 1 was brand new oem and the other was even beefier... the one time the ski got away and finally did a huge circle and I caught it in lake erie.... the other time I was at a local lake and I barely caught the ski before it got away... if I had my idle turned down it would have stopped after a few seconds...
the time when the ski got away was when I rode it for maybe the 4th time since I bought it last summer... I was pretty rough on it from the get-go... but I almost shat myself as I swam as fast as humanly possible trying to catch up to my brand new superjet that was quickly idling away from me in Lake Erie...

You could rig a spring to the turning nozzle, and tension it accordingly, so that the nozzle wants to go to left or right what have you. Yea it would probably feel a little weirder but it might be OK with the insurance company then.
Then ziptie the post. After that, I agree with Ericfox, the safest, is a cutoff idle. My skis lanyard post broke so I did that for about a year or so.
The ski will shut off even before it completes a circle. Just put some stuff in there, and say its self-circling (thats the way my laws are dont know bout u)
The problem with that is the rare chance the spring breaks so the carb sticks open.

The Freestyle lanyard problem we have over here in the UK at the moment (as Grammy mentioned) is very 'political' and the above are no longer acceptable methods (have been for years but no more) - So now we have 30 x odd free stylers in the UK desperate for this proximity lanyard device, will someone please make one?!!

have you tried 12 guage wire (with sheating, ie. house 20 amp wire) or even 14 guage 2" strip twisted around
personally I use low idle but if these come out I would definately consider one with my buddies
