In the 1st instance the whistle hanging around their neck got caught around the wing mirror of a saloon car. In the 2nd the whistle that was in their pocket had come out whilst dealing with a single seater, it was attached to the zip, the whistle then became tangled around the wishbone.

That is why everyone who wears a whistle should be wearing a lanyard/ necklace with a sanp attatchment. This way events like this would be prevented. Pieces of rope dangling will mean you are porbably going with the car in which ever direction it feels it may want to go next.
