We all have our personal choices, and I can guarantee you that a lot of us do not wear a harness. It does not matter how "safe" you think you are, accidents happen to the best of us.
If you follow the instructions on wearing the harness and attaching the tether then I don't see how it could get wrapped around your neck....unless you are built like a giraffe!
