If you can't take the tail off in a minute or less, either start practicing or find another type of monofin that has a quick release system.
Those mers with silicone tails, they have mertenders and crew members, and even lifeguards, ready to jump in and rescue them.
For the rest of us, silicone or not, we have to be able to get out of our tail really fast in an emergency. But sometimes the lifeguards can be really slack and not be paying attention or have gone for a walk leaving the post unattended.
But anyhoo, its just safer to practice taking the tail off whilst swimming. In case the real emergency comes along, you know exactly what to do and won't panic. Well that's just how I see it. And its late... Prob time for me to go to sleep and not ramble on.
