My reservation about retractables is. . .
and this has happened to me
If you have a dog that loves to sniff at everything
dragging you al over the place.
if they are behind you sniffing at something, then run forward, by the time they get
to the end of the line they could be doing in excess of 20MPH
That could yank the handle out of your hand then you have a loose dog.
The handle is then banging about on the ground behind the dog, scaring them
So they run harder and faster.
I was luck that it got wrapped around a park seat.
However if you have a plodder, it'll probably be fine
