Ramy,

I spoke with Allen Silver today and he noted that wearing it on your
shoulder (where I was thinking of strapping it, for the best view of
the sky) means it's likely to be torn off in a bail out. That comment
also made me wonder if, even worse, it might interfere with chute
deployment. I also called technical support and was told that the unit
works just as well horizontal as vertical. So I'm buying Allen's
Deluxe SMAK Pak, which velcros to the chute near your chest and has
room for a PLB or the SPOT.
