I'd have to agree with Peter here.  Seems as tho a movement range inhibitor
would be a safety improvement to the 'system'.  The time I saw the slider
fail it was on a trainer's boat during an SK instructor training session up
on Vancouver Is. where I was a student, so it was a while ago.  This
'system' has been in production for a while and seems to have has room for
improvement, especially when safety is concerned.  BTW, this is NOT the only
time I have heard of the seat movement as an issue with sliding-seat Mariner
paddlers.
