I noticed the turnworker struggling with the Hans tether. They are tricky if you have never used one before as the helmet post has two flats which are inline with the slot on the end of the post (looks like a regulat screwdriver slot). If the fitting is not inline with the flats it will not separate.

Perhaps we should consider a show and tell with hands-on practice for our META crew as Hans (FHRS?) are becoming mandatory next year.

Just a thought...

Do all the turn workers carry knives to cut straps ect? Hands on practice is a very good idea....
