 If you ran your long hose off your right post and you had to deal with
an out of gas diver, you could experience the reality of roll off at the
worst possible time.  Hypothetically, after handing off you long hose
from the right post you grab the back-up reg on your left post, its been
rolled off. Now you have a second, possibly tragic problem.
 This an example of why I run my long hose(primary reg)from the left
post.
