Lucky escape
Mercs are like women, no 2 are exactly alike. That's what testing is about. In general it is safer to test motors and props than women!

Re: Lucky escape
Lets not get carried away with damnation, " let he who is without sin cast the first stone" its all too easy to forget to clip on. My lanyard is right next to the helm seat ready to clip to my life jacket but I've got back to shore on more than one occasion to find that I have failed to attach it. 
I'm hoping a sprung return foot throttle will save me on those instances.
How many of us have launched with the bungs still in your pocket?
