However, we have yet to develop a reliable consistent safety line clip release system. Instead, we are focused on developing a release system of the actual lifejacket harness. Testing showed that the harness release system needed to be simple to understand, simple to use and simple to maintain as well as reliable over the lifetime of the lifejacket. At the same time, the harness release system must meet the requirements of the ISO12402 approval.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStaying connected to the boat is undoubtedly safer than being in the water and use of a safety line is actively encouraged.
