    They already have mate. There is a Mandatory Product Standard that states all Straps must only be sold with the following notes and warnings (abbreviated for clarity).
    Persons using the strap should do an accredited course
    Cannot be used for towing
    Damper MUST be used
    Only people directly involved to be in either vehicle
    DO NOT CONNECT THE STRAP TO A TOWBALL
    etc etc

    The Gov man requires that info to be with any and every strap sold in Oz, retail, online, Ebay doesn't matter.

    Unfortunately you cannot advertise or legislate against negligence or stupidity
    Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.
