Now being honest, if you had taken the time it takes to tie front and back
straps, to inspect the setup, they would not have been necessary.

I guess many years of flying have made me careful on my "preflight" which
includes manually testing all the towers and straps for any sign of movement
and checking the straps prior to use. I also tie up the ends in the event of
a buckle failure.
