Get yourself a stage strap. Here's an excellent example:

You can also make one out of a stainless steel hose clamp, a piece of nylon rope, a short piece of vinyl tubing and two stainless steel snap-bolts.

I just did mine for about $14 (2 SS snaps=$10, hose clamp =$2 nylon webbing to cover the clamp + misc. =$2).

I prefer to side sling (cave style) mine, they pull up tight under the arms as oppose to hanging down when slung off the shoulder, this lets you move the tanks backwards and get to everything easily as oppose to having to work round them that can be a PITA.

Picture number three looks a tad painful with regards to the male bits! Just kidding. Very sweet setup with your PRISM. X

I always wanted a pony. Man what a rough childhood.

I think the shorts are an entanglement hazard....
