I've been reading some old posts about different bungee methods.
In this one (post #96) Devondiver gives an example of when a bungee failure could become life threatening but I don't see why.
The way I see it (and my experience is very limited), you have the tank attached to your hip d ring and which point a failure would just mean the tank hangs down a bit lower as you descend. Or you have the tank out in front of you in which case your holding onto it anyway so it shouldn't be too much of a problem?
What am I missing here?
