I think "most dangerous advice" is a bit over-the-top, don't you? Being a little over-dramatic, I would venture. I'm sure I could find several pieces of advice which would trump this one for most dangerous.

I just tried the advice on my own mask just for kicks. My mask has about a 3 inch gap from my chin when I look down. That seems about right to me.

1) well, it may be out of the blue.

2) well, it may be over-dramatic and not exactly lie in the 10-ten of the most dangerous advice given.

3) well, I can't get that kind of clearance looking down with my mask on because of the extended throat guard. Why would I care how the mask fits when I look down?

I can pull the mask away from my face and up over my head with one hand and without pulling my cap off. I think that is loose enough. My mask rest firmly right up against my face. My harness isn't too tight either. My HARNESS is in good shape and has plenty of spring left. I trust my mask/harness combo will protect me.

I think your missing the POINT. Dangling mask off bill of cap is bad advice. Not resting the chin pad against the chin is probably bad advice too. Please allow the harness to DO what it was designed to DO.
