So, you're going to set the throttle, then take your hand off of it.

What do you do when you're hitting all these bumps and need to stop to avoid running over an infant in the middle of the trail...

"OH NO! I'm bouncing and can't get my hand to release the death cable that is propelling my Jeep before I run over this Ethiopian infant in the trail!"

Just some input but when I run mine I'm actually going to use a brake lever off of a bike so it returns when you let it go and we will see how that works not sure if anyone has tried this or not??

I'll be driving less than 5mph, I'm sure he'll be fine. Getting run over at less than 10mph doesn't hurt as much.

================================================== =
Never had any issue using mine, And as some other poster here stated its a lot better than bouncing all around and your foot on the gas pedal is not steady.

Ya;ll can argue all day on the virtues, of either having it or not.

But , I LOVE mine
