Sorry, I completely disagree.

Speaking from experience here.

Unhooking is easy sure, but not when you are being dragged at 40mph and you have 600 pounds of tension on that CL.

Rauls analogy is dead on. It's equivalent to having someone loop your kite by grabbing the bar in 30 knots. Do you really think you are going to reach down and unhook before the kite throws you headfirst into the dirt?

Not a chance.
