Where I think both types tend to fail divers is in not stabilizing the tank well enough. Single camband setups make it awfully easy for the tank to come loose, and BCs with no rigid component allow the tank to slop around on the diver's back. For anyone, that is not comfortable, although advanced divers learn to compensate for it -- but for new divers, it's a major confounding factor in trying to achieve stability.
I don't think the Scubapro single camband is unstable nor does it pose a risk of the tank bcoming loose. I only have about 500 dives on Scubapro BCs and have never had a loose tank. On the other hand, I have seen many other divers with dropped tanks with BCs of other design.
Thanks, Craig
