breakaway lanyards

[Richard Ogg]

So what are the advantages of the "lasso" ones over the "Smitty"? I like the clips on the shirt loop, and I carry a safety pin in case it breaks. (I had that happen once, but I could tie a knot in it to hook.) I've never experienced someone trying to grab the whistle, but I know the shirt loop would break quickly. (Its also easy for my wife to fix.)
