It allows the jibe to happen, at a controlled rate.

A friend was telling me about a product review in 48 Degrees North magazine
about a device to prevent accidental jibes. Something called shockles. Found
their website, www.shockles.com. Anybody have any experience with these?
Look like they might work? Thanks.
