Wow, I had a taste of that today actually.
I was talking to my friend while gearing up, and in the distraction I only routed the chest strap once. At that moment, two instructors saw from far away and approached us.
One of them asks my friend to give me a gear check. Friend looks at chest strap thinking it's ok, and totally misses the fact that it was only routed once (as did I). We both felt like idiots, but it makes me very happy to know people were looking out after me. I've read about these chest strap oversights before, and didn't think I would screw it up.
Now that I've seen it first hand, I realize just how serious it is and will pay attention to what I do when gearing up.
I will thank the instructors who spotted my error with beer next weekend.
