snowboard leash

evening all, ive just bought some new bindings (GNU bc's)
for my forthcoming trip Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy and they have a leash, one end attaches to the laces of my boot and the other to the binding, does anyone know why you need one or does anyone use one?

re: snowboard leash

well the leash is used to keep the board attached to your leg so that in case of some accident the board would not fly away and kill s.b. else..or you can just lose it on a steep slope..infact this is more likely to happen if you use hard bindings

When you unclip to pick your board up or put it down to clip in it stops it sliding off down the mountain and killing someone.....its happened!
