I had to try it for a quarter one time when the medal hook fell off or bent where my lanyard could not stay on the shirt. I kept spitting out the whistle and it would fall to the floor each time I blew air into it. I hated the experience and ever since have used a neck lanyard. I do not see how anyone can do that, but I know some have tried and succeeded. You do not see it very often anymore, but I know guys that go without a lanyard in the summer. I guess I just do not see the point. But if you can successfully do that and no one has a problem with it in your area, more power to you.

Peace
