What is the harm in reducing risk? If you ride a motorcyle, why wear a Helmet or Protective Gear? You don't crash or have an accident everytime you ride....
This is signature material here for DA! Lol.
Also, it keeps the octo from dragging in the sand. You will know instantly if it's free flowing and it shouldn't come loose and swing around behind you like many octo holders allow. There is no downside to using a short necklass.I think that the only good thing about an octopus necklace (bungie cord or pre-fabricated) on a short hose is that it's right by your mouth. That's it.
My concern with stuff failing is that it messes up my dive. I don't want to spend a bunch of $$ to fill tanks, drive to wherever, pay for a boat (or hotel, maybe both), just to sit out because something breaks, or have my dive get cut short because of some preventable nonsense. The 'yer gunna die' stuff is silly in most contexts, but 'yer gunna have a bad day' is a reality best avoided.
