Default Keep your hand off the release handle during aero tows!

Wow! I'm gob-smacked at your arrogance Bill!

I give a link to useful information that might help others decide
how they want to handle a winch launch and all you can do is
rant without any helpful advice or information whatsoever.

Why not try being helpful instead.

This

has resulted in a significant reduction in the number of

accidents/injury's in the UK from winch launching.

Yes, a reduction in accidents to the point where you're now

only one order
of magnitude worse than the Germans instead of two.
