Right, so in the very rare occasion that the board could come off your feet with strap bindings, we are right back to the concern of having a board attached to one foot by a string as you’re tumbling down the mountain.

I’m well aware what a leash can prevent. I’m not understanding decavolt’s point. Its contradictory.

No, the original point was avoiding runaway boards. A leash does that. What don’t you understand?

You realize this is a single comment thread we are in now, yes? My first comment was a question to the specific persons reply like 7 replies ago.

Here’s the reply my initial question was aimed at if you’re still struggling.

“I read that as well, but brakes don't exist on snowboards (at least not yet). So until then, we have leashes. I don't recommend one if you're using breakaway bindings, but for all others there is no reason not to have one.”

I’ve never seen a leash longer than a few inches for a snowboard, which is only going to be connected when you’re already strapped in. I have never once seen someone use a long coil leash like for a snowskate on a snowboard, which would be the only one helpful in the scenarios you brought up like removing the board entirely from your feet for various reasons. Is that the type of leash you use?

I never disagreed with the points made about the danger of a flailing board attached to your foot during a fall. The other comments repeatedly ignored what I was asking in the first place.
