  Surgical tubing is fine around the neck, but you are confusing the backup reg 
with the old PADI term, "safe second", which implies an octopus. The backup is 
around the neck, where it should be , but the "octo" , or reg you share, is in 
your mouth and has nothing confining it or restricting its action. 

   If you were to breath the short hose, and stuff the long one, you would be 
foolish to have the long one on a bungee around your neck - how would you pass 
it off? Then , what if you needed it yourself, what would you do with the short 
hose? Let it dangle like an open water student? Think this out.

   The long hose should have a little bolt snap tied to it near the second
stage 
to clip off to your right chest d-ring when you are not using it, as in 
breathing a stage or deco bottle, or in the event that it was not working, and 
you were then breathing your short hose.
