Why shouldn't it be? You can't get that massive backmounted kit through any restriction where you would need a longhose to immediately provide gas.
When exiting out with a 'casualty' then they'd be breathing from their own bailout bottle. Or your bailout bottle.
You don't just carry overhead bailout on your back? Seems a tad limited in that once you're out, there's no switching around.

Again a specialist application which requires specialist solutions.
It’s team bailout at 100m. You can’t carry enough yourself. Planning is complex and may include safety divers. Overhead diving would include staged bailout and deco cylinders. Deep wrecks would be team orders on a 'must return to shot' with lazy shot + trapeze.
A 100m/330' dive is not a run of the mill dive, very few people have ever been that deep.
BTW using 17 litre steel cylinders would really screw your buoyancy on CCR especially if they’re removable.
For a larf, how many cylinders would one person need for bailout on a 100m/330' dive with a sensible bottom time of, say, 30 mins?
4 x ali80s? That’s without mitigating a CO2 hit.

Excellent specialist divers.
I still don’t understand why there’s a move to 'hybridise' a CCR with OC and DIR for general diving.
Team bailout at 100m is stupid?
