The idea of a mini bottle clipped onto my belt scares me a bit (I had one) all it would take is someone to crack it (someone looking to inherit my fortunes!) and I get a rapid one way ticket to the surface.

I have a delayed with a crack bottle. I have it wrapped around my Custom Divers reel with the velcro strap.
If I don't release the velcro strap fully on deployment the bottle empties staight through the air release valve on the DSMB. I think this is how it is designed.

Going to surface would not happen in my experience

The only fault I would pick with this design is once the bottle empties it can fill with water and if you are not carefull this can enter the cylinder you fill it with. We all know saltwater in a steel cylinder is not good. Its also a bit bulky and hard to clip some where out the way
