You actually tuck it under your arm before you take off.
this is funny to tell today....but it wasnt then.....MANY years ago , I was working a youth game solo with the raft....The batter hit a dribbler up the line and I came out from behind the plate tryng to get an angle on the throw.....tripped over the strap on the raft......

and faceplanted into the infield dust.....

I came up looking like a powdered donut......

but I had missed the call....

was never so happy to ditch the raft........
