The same is to be said for putting a crotch strap over the belt; it can hang up on the crotch strap
I only want weight to drop if I intend for it to drop, not accidentally, and so putting it under the crotch strap helps to ensure that. It is very easy to remove the belt underwater if you practice a bit. None of these are solutions that you just attach and forget. If you want to wear ditchable weight you should practice, in the shallows, ditching it so you get the muscle memory and visualization of the procedure.
Don't worry, you're not gonna die!
