Addendum - imagine your short bungie of 5 feet attached to your H16 midline and you stuff a bow and go flying. You travel MUCH more than the bungie can stretch = tear, wear, need for frequent replacement. With criss-cross - with 20 feet of bungie, you go for coffee at Tim Horton's and come back without feeling tethered.
Cheers
