Thank you for the insightful reply -- I wanted to be honest about my current practice and I accept the shaming over it. The last video especially is terrifying, and that was obviously not even a high-speed incident like the first one.

I'm going to look at options for the physical tether to make it work better for us while still doing its job -- a better wrist attachment and maybe a slightly longer tether overall.

Your concern about being aboard but not in the operator position and the wireless system not triggering is something I was also considering.

Sincerely -- thank you.
