NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A friend of mine who shall remain nameless-she lives in the SD area now--suffered a severe head injury due to one of those things; it used wiring ties to attach the straps to the shell and a fall where her head took a couple of bounces sheared the tie and made her injuries many times worse than they'd otherwise have been. This was fifteen years ago and fortunately her recovery was complete.
