Would the weight and extra bulk in the boot make it easier for the boot to pop off under water?
You must make sure that the weight doesn't come off mid dive.

That 'skill" is only done with alum cylinders anyhow, sidemounting in steel cylinders it isn't done. Frankly I don't even get why it is a "skill". use a long hose, donate normally.How will that chunk of lead feel when you have to unclip one or both tanks and swim with them extended in front of you?
