As a former Nationally licensed road racing flagger, this gives me
the willies. Yeah, it is very, very, unlikely at an autocross that
you will be wearing the radio and responding to a car, but if you do,
say to push start a stalled Mod car, and it starts and takes the
radio with it caught on something, down you go, potentially dragging.
Put a break away in the lanyard. For my whistle, I just used Velcro.
For something like a radio, just use a mini headphone jack. Knot
the cord and put it inside the plastic part.
