Bike Tire and Gear Belt

Step 12 Check fit

Now put the belt on. Practice engaging and dis-engaging the clasp so you'll be comfortable with it in an emergency!

To dis-engage first pull the clasp away from the big gear, then tip the end through the hole in the big gear.

I'm interested to know what type of emergency you could find yourself in to quickly remove your belt.... ~~~~ You're walking through the park and suddenly find yourself in the pants prohibited section and to avoid embarrassment, you need to quickly whip off the pants...kapow, make sure that belt is quick release!! ~~~~ Maybe also in the bedroom, for quick shenanigans.

Say you spill sulfuric acid (car battery acid) on yourself. Or high concentration bleach. Or any other of a number of extremely dangerous things. You want those pants OFF. NOW. Chemicals can either severely damage (burn) your skin or kill you. For example, a biologist (chemist? I'm not positive how the story went.) spilled a huge jug of phenol on himself. He saved his notes, but by the time he removed his clothing and I think went over to the chemical shower, it was too late. He died. But that's lab safety, not belt safety per se. Also, suppose you're caught on something. Just one more argument for carrying a fair-sized knife, in addition to knowing how to undo anything strapped to you.

I take it you've never run into a bathroom at full tilt while undoing your belt on the move to avoid any delays in getting seated for... erm... a movment?
