Now -  maybe its not a troll after all...

Ed,
have you wrapped the longhose the correct way ?
from right post under your right arm, under the battery canister (or tucked
a bit in your waist strap if you dont carry a canister light.)  up across
the chest, behind your neck and then into your mouth.

Now if somebody would grab it from behind you might get the reg ripped out
of you mouth (no problem - bow your head and pick up the secondary that is
hanging off the bungy just under your chin) and the only way the longhose
gets tight is across your chest.
So you cant get a strangling situation.

Also to strangle sombody with a "rope" the diameter, bend radius and tension
of a air hose, requires more that just a deliberate act. It takes skill.

cheers /esse
