They use their hands to keep them alive!Have you ever seen Mike LaChance keep one alive? The guy needed rotator cuff surgery every 6 months due to his absolute perverse pleasure of using the whip. Before just about all driving jurisdictions implemented whipping rules where you can’t raise your whip above your shoulder and each hand must have a hand hold at all times. Some guys like Trevor Henry in Canada looked like they were fly fishing for brook trout.
