Jim,
     
     You got any pictures of that you want to post for others to imitate?

In my experience-
     
* The bondage make it difficult to orally inflate the wings.
* The bondage keep your center of buoyancy underneath your tanks rather 
than at the sides.
* The bondage ruins your streamlining, they create extra drag.
* The addition of an 2nd inflator contributes to task loading in CF 
conditions.
* The addition of an additional inflator hose increases failure and 
entanglement points.
* Their additional cost is not mitigated by additional usefulness.
     
But I have to admit that since getting rid of mine, the tech groupie 
babes are not flocking around me as they used to. So I made up for it by 
strapping 12" pig-stickers to both my legs, gluing a pair of Viking horns 
to my hood and attaching some fake chest hair to the outside of my 
drysuit.
