Baller hammerski Posted October 12, 2020 Baller Share Posted October 12, 2020 I’ve been using one since my buddy Scott Rabeneau put his arm through the handle 20+ years ago. The new ones are great! Good, cheap, insurance ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller ForrestGump Posted March 31, 2021 Baller Share Posted March 31, 2021 It's unfortunate that we are stll dealing with this years later with no guidance from the sanction. They worry about all this other crap. But not safety. We were advocating these a decade ago with hope that they'd implement a policy. Nope.

Baller_ Wish Posted March 31, 2021 Baller_ Share Posted March 31, 2021 @ForrestGump I’d think the manufacturers would be producing them as a permanent part of a handle purchase. Maybe this has to go the way of snow ski helmets. Eventually it will become the standard. Never wore a snow ski helmet till I was in my late 30s.

Baller slow Posted March 31, 2021 Baller Share Posted March 31, 2021 Snow sking helmets started with ski racing. If it was mandated in pro events, it would trickle down to all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ Wish Posted March 31, 2021 Baller_ Share Posted March 31, 2021 @slow shouldn’t they mandate USCA vests?? Safety is a personal choice to some degree. I consider the item between my ears to be the best safety equipment I own. I did not start wearing a snow ski helmet because ski racers did. I started wearing it cause of newby and crazy a$$ snow boarders started showing up where I skied. I also think the tide turned do to the tragic death of Sunny Bono. But that’s getting off topic. Reality is I’ll probably get a handle guard from Mike sooner then later. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller_ mike_mapple Posted March 31, 2021 Baller_ Share Posted March 31, 2021 I dont see it becoming standard on handles, as you eliminate the part of the custom handle that makes it safe, no plastic on it, so when it hits the water it pulls straight, does not stay a triangle, which is why that is all my dad would ever use, never anything with the plastics that keep the handle open.

Baller mmosley899 Posted March 31, 2021 Baller Share Posted March 31, 2021 @mike_mapple I get your reasoning there, but many skiers, less skilled than your dad, will get hung up in the bridle before the handle ever hits the water. Of course it is all just an added degree of safety, as the any sport can be dangerous. I could not imagine the devastation of my kids or grandkids ever getting caught up in the bridal. Always a personal choice, but a little added peace of mind.

Baller_ mike_mapple Posted March 31, 2021 Baller_ Share Posted March 31, 2021 @mmosley899 I dont disagree with you, but saying it should be standard on all handles is ridiculous, I get people want to be safe and that helps them believe they are safer and more power to them. But its fine how they are, those people who want them can buy them / add them to handles. Just inputing my .02 into the convo, I do think its great when some asks me about them I know who to let them know will make them / offers them.

Baller mmosley899 Posted March 31, 2021 Baller Share Posted March 31, 2021 @mike_mapple I agree no need to make it mandatory.

Baller Deanoski Posted April 1, 2021 Baller Share Posted April 1, 2021 @mike I used to think like you then I had that prerelease at hook up. a weird place to prerelease. I had a handle guard on small like mikes and still got hurt ( but it saved my life) Im lucky to be here and to be 100% again in 8 mouths. no one wants there neck pulled on. it like wearing a bike helmet why not. if you care about the people you ski with use handle guards! no one skis with me without a guard I will hand them duck tape if they have no guard. best Deano Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller ScottScott Posted April 1, 2021 Baller Share Posted April 1, 2021 That is scary. He did a great job of holding on to the handle till it was pulled from his hands. Hard to think of it in the split second when everything is going wacky.... I likely would have let go as soon as I lost balance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller jipster43 Posted May 23, 2021 Baller Share Posted May 23, 2021 @mike_mapple Handle guards would make a terrific point of purchase item. I don’t know of any business that doesn’t benefit from additional sales. I’ve used one for a decade and have never noticed it, but I have a buddy who was in the boat twice when one was needed. One person had a guard and lived. The other didn’t and died. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
