In many photos and videos of (experienced/professional) divers diving with bail-out bottles, I see those bottles out of line with the rest of the body. They hang more or less diagonally on the side of the diver.
In sidemount - where divers also have their (primary) bottles on the side - it is always said that these bottles should be in line (parallel) to the torso.
My question is: is this different with bail-out bottles? If so, why?
This only seems to be relevant with divers that use chest or back-mount rebreathers or double tank sets.
