Ahh....good point. Thank you. I haven't been staging with sidemounts (or scootering) so I haven't run into this problem yet.. My training instructor had a preference for these clips. This is the first really rational reason I have heard for not using them in sidemount. One tank removal to untangle yourself is no big deal. Multiples become a problem. I'll rethink my position and see what other clips I own.

BTW I have often been tangled in a set line but never was the clip involved. However, I did once have a problem with my own reel that wound around my tank and got caught up in the clips. Mostly is was annoying.
