I had a PTT at 250' +/- after getting really slammed by a thermal
while I had a device similar to yours in my hand (rather than wrapped
around it). I didn't have enough slack in it and when I flinched, I
released. It was an interesting few seconds while I tried to figure
out what just happened but it was an uneventful 180 to landing. I've
since lengthened the lanyard and leave it lying across my thigh with
my wrist on top of it.
