You use a tether that is difficult to tangle up in. Also, generally speaking, if you do such things to your partners, you've inflicted enough of a penalty on yourself that the refs probably won't call it. (They may send you back to the LRI, though, for reinspection of the hazard.)

I know for 1197, we only tangled once, and it was ourselves we snagged. Figures it'd happen in F2 at L.A....
