S&G: Safety lines aka perimeter lines

Hope everyone enjoyed Christmas day. My living room is strewn with ripped up wrapping paper

BUT MY QUESTION IS: Do most folks run the lines around the entire kayak or leave them off in the area of the coaming?

I have been looking at commercial and "home built" boats there does not seem to be a uniform pattern to put it mildly.

Safety is a major concern, but it seems the coaming would be as easy or easier to hang onto given it's larger profile.

Thoughts??

AND A WONDERFUL NEW YEAR TO ALL.
