I have been running Leftys for at least 6 years now and would not ever own a sled without one ever again, I am a 20+ year rider, lots of steep and deep extreme backcountry sleddin and as everyone says its there for use when needed. As for this video yes you must use your tether thats why it is there for your safety, as for the throttle stickiing it could be several different issues with lack of maintenance being one, or frozen another. after watching this I see a guy who doesnt need the thing connected for what he is doing so why play around, also he he would have done a precheck at the beginning of the ride he probably would have noticed that the throttle was a little stiff and had a reason to investigate. Why people bash people for having one is beyond me , if you try it and don't like it disconnect , sell it whatever, but I know that most people that try it , love it and never operate without it. That is my 2 cents, now let it snow and lets ride
