ABSTRACT:
A harness release device for towing a water skier by a harness worn by the skier. The device having a frame and a cylindrical handle with two ends both of which being rotatably attached to and supported by the frame. The handle is freely rotatable about its longitudinal axis. A harness line, having a first end and a second end, is fixedly attached to said frame at the first end. The second end of the harness line is releasably connected to the handle. The releasable connection is formed by winding the second end of the harness line around the handle by rotating the handle in a first direction. The harness engages the harness line whereby if the skier lets go of the handle, the handle spins thus releasing the harness line from the handle and the harness.
