And certain posters used to poke 'fun' at OMS wings? Hmmm.

i just received my 55 lb halcyon wing and have questions.
if i mount it on my backplate so the "halcyon" emblem faces forward ( against my back ), the inflate hose comes over my left shoulder - good -..
with this situation, the dump valve is on my lower left, facing my tanks (i.e. it faces forward).
when would you use this to dump
??
seems to me you'd have to be feet up to use it!?
sorry if this is a silly question
i am used to having the dump valve be either front facing on my shoulder or rear facing but lower on the bc .

if this is DIR and logic / functionality are paramount why do i need to "fold the valve" around?
in a horizontal, slightly head down position ( where i usually am) , a front facing dump valve won't dump much!
admittedly, i almost never use any dump valve because the inflator hose is more precise, but in an emergency i would think you'd be head up making a shoulder position optimal.
