It is true that if you charge the SHV you are pinned when you engage in CC,
however...

If you want to move past the SHV and engage something else, but there is
insufficient room to do this, you will not be pinned by contacting the model
as you move past because the SHV is pinned and cannot pin you against your will.

More tomorrow when I quote the pinning rules...
