Static cord secures it, so it doesn't drop away completely, and gives you a connection(leash) in the event you need to push them out in front of you. The bungee keeps it tight(hopefully) to your body.

Perfect answer to a question I never asked. When diving I end up clipping off that line because 2 out of the 15 or so times I ran the tanks out front one slipped out of the bungee and dropped (was playing around). That is the only use I found for that static line since I dont ware my tanks to the water rather I carry them to the water then clip off in water.
deepair:Rob, I could not get your link to open. It might be operator error on my end. Could you repost it or PM it to me. Thanks in advance.

Using bungee loops instead of the stock bungee decreases the chances of this happening.
How loose is the static cord compared to the bungie? Do you always wear these static cords and bungees or only to some specific types of dives? This is the first I hear of this piece of equipment (other than a static piece of equipment to clip bottles out of the water)
