I agree it just makes sense. Attaching yourself on a carabineer and then
pivoting around on top of the little Decor scooter makes zero sense and is not
worth the effort of rigging in my opinion. It's too easy to set these things up
so thy are usable by simple burning two holes in the shroud with a shoulder gun
in orientation with the handles then tie in 1 meter cave line and a bolt snap.
What is so difficult here?
