Here's an anecdote that may make you re-think finding a throw bag coming from me.  Standing at a drop recently, it was determined that video and safety were in order.  As my partner for the day walked back to his boat, I looked for the optimal angle, lighing, etc... from which to conduct my filming.  Once I found my spot, a sweet spot at that with nice footing and a back rest, I go through my responsibilities.  Video check, throw bag, uh???  I did not attempt to stop the run.
