I had always imagined a leash as attaching ankle to either the mast
base or rear footstrap, and figured it would just tangle and trip us up
as we go round and round.

But just now, while reading my favorite mail list, I had a vision.
Suppose the leash connected the rear footstrap to the rear of our harness?
And suppose it was one of those coiled plastic things?
I think it might work!
Who's gonna try it?

You read it here first!
