IF IN DOUBT - SHEET OUT

This is an ancient piece of wisdom which means if you are worried about your safety,  especially if you have only two wheels on the ground instead of the customary three,   LET THE SHEET ROPE SLIDE THROUGH YOUR HANDS. Do not sit on the sheet rope or wind it around your hand.
