Thanks, TSandM. That is helpful, since I view these problems as not-serious threats for my diving.

Since you asked...:
1. The bungies reduce air shifting from one side of the wing to another, which I've found annoying with my current wing.
2. The bungies reduce the tendency of wings to build up air in the rear, which then pulls up and makes it more difficult to deflate the wing quickly and fully from a prone position.
3. Divers around here who use them swear by them for balance and trim. I mean, really love them.
4. They look cool. And yes, that matters to me and I won't appologize for it.
