  Not sure that you understood me here. You breath from your left post
which is the long hose. If your valve has been rolled off you will know
it before that AOA situation arrises.

 If your back up hose is on your right post them your going to either
have to swim backwards to roll it off or plain old forget to turn it on
at the beginning of the dive. Maybe thats why you put some other
indicator on the right side, like you drysuit or bc hose.

  If you can reach your LH post you probly not in a very tight
restriction. I think that is abit tougher to count on. Grant it that you
should periodicly check you know after some good scweezin.
