The real point is that having your hand on the release may save your life,
to me that is a complete no brainer.


Thanks all for the good thoughts and ideas. I just want to make sure everyone remembers the title of this topic and it explicitly stated during aero tows. It is fine that people are talking about winch tows too but please don't confuse the two. They are separate types of operations and require different flying methods to stay as safe as possible. Keep your hand off the release during aero tows.

Thanks,
