I do use two lanyards for tall whippy alders, same thing, if you kick out you're going straight to the ground. I usually just wrap my second lanyard twice around and leave it way loose. It then acts like a choke once pressure is applied. For the evergreens here, all you have to do is lean back and press one arm on your lanyard and you'll stop very quickly.
