    This is one of my pet peeves. If a ziptie is to be cut, it should be cut flush.

    When laying out enduro courses, it's not terribly unusual to cut off small bushes etc. At one a few years back, someone cut a small bush with a machete, leaving a pointed green stick about 4" long. A rider went down, the stick went through a vent hole in his chest protector and about 2" into his ribcage. Ouch.

    If you twist the flag off a ziptye as opposed to cutting it it has no sharp edge.
