At the last Bux and District challenge they actually told us in the drivers briefing that it was ok to wrap it on and fix, as we always do, which everyone promptly did,it makes sense cos its always there on the rope and good as a marker on crossing tracks and there when needed for rocks and trees. It usually stays where you put it if cable tied tight and probably still damps the rope when it snaps , if it snaps on the short side of the sail that is. Also rolled up it wont go in the fairlead unless you flick in and not out and then take the hook in as well!
