I did hear a few comment on forgetting to detached but the lanyard tugged before they got too far.
The only issue with the tether kind that I've seen is that it won't activate for a direct impact (I.E. hit by car) until you have separated from the bike.

Works perfectly for track or single vehicle crashes but I would look for something else that has a different trigger for street riding so it would work in that scenario
