Using a common paraglider cinch strap, any paramotor with a clutch can be made safer to start with this simple technique. Wrap the strap around two or more of the frame struts for an anchor, then around the propeller. Clip the strap together and remove the slack from the loop. Now, when the motor is started, if the throttle is stuck at full, the prop cannot spin or develop thrust. The clutch will burn up if you leave the motor running at full, so shut it down immediately and address the problem. Once the motor is started and running at idle, you can simply reach through the cage from the harness side and unclip the strap and put it in the pocket of the harness.
