Ngl, half the tender hands I see are running their umbilical too tight on the crossover

I was on a job in Port Arthur last week and watched a guy zip-tie his umbilical bundle tight to the handrail every 3 feet, then wonder why his comms kept cutting out when he turned his head. You want some slack in the loop so the line moves with you, not against you, and it took me one bad comms check at 40 feet to learn that. Has anyone else seen this become a habit with newer guys?
