"If your line is connected to a slip-ring, then you shouldn't have to jettison the whole belt. You could attach both long and short lines via slip D-rings and if something went wrong, it would all slide off the belt. You'd have to have the bag slide off too, so if something went wrong with the "offside" rope, everything would slide out of its way." Two bags and two slip rings on one belt might be likely to tangle. At best you might loose both towlines when letting one go. "There aren't many ways to weave a belt onto a PFD that isn't designed for a tow/rescue belt." Mine, the Lotus L'Ocean, is designed for tow systems.
