Mr. SamoK, this time I completely agree with your two above posts. At the end of the thread I can only say: I know that I know nothing about such a serious and delicate topic! Regards

viharnik, explain a bit this "more reliable variant". Because if I have ice axe with wrist loop attached to wrist I can somehow still imagine catching it if it accidentally flies out of hand. But I can't imagine at all how I'd catch it if it's dangling on elastic strap?

Janez has already given the answer, what each one will use and how, but each decides for themselves.

Zebdi, in case of a fall everything is different, not in normal use. If the thing wouldn't work better, Grivel wouldn't go for those advantages of improvements. Otherwise I think with accustomed use of whatever personal tool, nothing should be missing on the tour.

@viharnik is by far the most knowledgeable about gear use, since every one over 2000 . It really surprises me that he's home today, well maybe he'll surprise us in an hour with an illustrative snowpack profile and avalanche danger assessment.

No need to attach it anywhere, just hold it properly in your hands.
The ice axe leash in the pic goes basically to the waist, but for hiking you don't need it and can remove the thing, because it's more for climbing. If you're clumsy it can happen that this expensive toy falls somewhere, but if clumsiness is the issue there's an even bigger risk that crampons snag the leash and then you fall somewhere
