Never had an issue where it would be required. Interesting concept though! Personally, I don't really like it much.

They told me she would still be close enough for me to touch.  It just makes me nervous when I think of the possibilities of something happening and I do not know how to unattach the tie-down.

How close would you be sitting to her if she were tied down? I think it is definitely your decision, but I’m not completely sure.
