Going over my latest design iterations of a paramotor throttle holder. See my failed designs here: https://youtube.com/shorts/xudwYPWZuCk

You could argue sticking the throttle in your net or in a pocket or tying it in a loose knot costs nothing, then I would counter argue those methods are less safe and less reliable and you cannot use them in-flight. I respect your opinion if you do not see a need for one of these, please respect my opinion for seeing a need.

Also consider that after landing, most pilots are not sure where to put the throttle and end up leaving it dangled to drag or be dragged, or doing some arm gymnastics while taking off the paramotor. I resist the idea of $250 throttles touching the ground, ever, even for 0.5 seconds.

I'm imagining a world where paramotor pilots land, stow the brakes and then stow their throttle just as quickly and neatly as stowing the brakes. Maybe my design here can accomplish some level of this.
