Breakaway kill switch????

Anyone have a breakaway kill switch on their bikes? Like a eye-screw threaded into the kill switch with a rubber band around the wrist.

Ive gotten in the habit of nailing the kill switch when i feel like my circles gonna highside or shoot out, or is coming down real crooked

OR maybe your bike will land upside down on the throttle

OR maybe your bike will run away from you and hit something if you have the idle up.

I run one that I bought from a bike shop.You can always leave it clipped on the bike when you don't feel you need to use it

we play around with a little 3 wheeler sometimes, just something to get drunk and mess around on. Two nights ago at the Baltimore bike bash I was doing no handers in the parking garage with the idle at 5000 and the thing got away from me because I was a little sh1tfaced, and slammed into a concrete pillar at 20 mph. times were good
