Which way should the little rubber &#x26;quot;booties&#x26;quot; point?  And how does one know how to set the length?  Should arms be raised or down?</description>

<description>Black Diamond Whippet Self-Arrest Ski Pole&#x3C;br /&#x3E;&#x3C;br /&#x3E;Okay, now that I&#x26;#39;ve got one of these, I must say, it&#x26;#39;s quite an intimidating piece of equipment (mainly I don&#x26;#39;t want to fall on it).  BD&#x26;#39;s safetly literature really wasn&#x26;#39;t all that comprehensive, so I&#x26;#39;m wondering if anyone&#x26;#39;s got any good safety advice beyond &#x26;quot;don&#x26;#39;t use pole straps&#x26;quot; and &#x26;quot;keep the guard on&#x26;quot;.  Thanks.</description>
