So the Teth Air must be like the security system on my Harley Ultra Limited. The key fob activates the system, and when you get like 50 feet away from it, it won't run.

Good posts. I have never worn mine on my snowmobiles. I always wear mine in my bass boat as the concept is a little different, engine in gear, idling, or wot without a hotfoot.
I've always figured on a sled its not needed. If I fall off it will coast to a stop. The stuck throttle is an option I have almost forgot about. I thought most snowmobiles have a sensor that can detect throttle sticking or something and retard it off.
What got my attention is a couple of the stories told here about a snowmobile flipping upside down and opening the throttle and the guy sliding into it or being pinned under it. That got me thinking
The throttle safety switch does not know the difference between a thumb pushing the throttle or snow jammed under it unless it rocks over to activate the switch.
Do you ride with your teather cord attached to your jacket or do you leave it on the sled twisted up? Whats your reason for your answer?
I got back and forth but I really should. A few years back got bucked grabbed a hand of throttle as my leg went into the track...had I had my tether on I wouldn't have a plate in my ankle.
Some friends of mine switched to these, seem to work really nice. Thinking of doing the same.

Is the Teth-air plug and play?The latest Cordless Teth-Air is now known as the Laser Phantom Teth-Air. It also has the roll over protection so if you get pinned under your sled it will shut down. This condition has happened way more often than the sled running away at full throttle.

I know this is from twelve years ago but wow, that would be scary.i never did till a friend fell off and the sled landed on the left side with the left hand throttle wide open and he was under the track. The track burned a deep grove in his helmet and into his neck mm away from the main vain almost died and now a massive scar to remember it. Think about it it it only takes a second to put it on
That's even more horrifying than the earlier story.With the new fuel injected sleds i think it is even more inportant due to the fact that they can run upside down just as well .
Back when the RXL came out with FI a fellow was going down a hill that was icy and sled got out of control and pitched him.
The sled went down the hill upside down with him sliding after it. When the sled stopped he landed feet first into the sled with one leg getting picked up between the track and the tunnel.
Sled was wide open as throttle was pinched open with the way everything went.
So this sled had paddles and ran wide open with his leg in tunnel and burnt his leg off.
You get the picture,not nice. I wasn't there but sled with the fellow from time to time and he only has one leg and rides well.
The people that were there at the time will tell you it wasn't nice sitting waiting for the chopper and the smell was sickening.
Just something to think about?
