Like previously stated I use a zip tie but I don't turn my idle down, I just never let go. On the few times my skis been ripped from my hands, and no one was around, it just circles around just like it would in the flat. No problems. Besides, just how many times have you been separated from your ski and your riding buds weren't right there to help. We all have each others back

Red button not much use if you are seperated from the ski.
Red button (on SJ's) is set up in such a way that if the button fails (corrosion in button, corrosion or loose at the black/white connectors) it will not shut off the motor. Granted in this situation, if I recall correctly pulling the lanyard won't kill it either...

I don't zip tie, but I do have a lanyard key zip tied to my bars. That way I can plug it in, but also easily unplug it and put my real lanyard in. FOr the last 2 years or more I haven't used it, and just always put my lanyard on. For surf and flatwater.

When I fall, I grab my lanyard key in my hand as I'm swimming for the ski and it takes 1/2 second to plug it in.

At one time I zip tied but now use the lanyard all the time.
