Thanks for all your comments guys. It's clear this ideas has flaws and is a non starter. Just to clarify this was just an idea put out there for experienced marshals to comment on. I wouldn't have modified equipment without first seeing what other marshals think of the idea, seriously testing it away from track and finally if it had ever been ready for use for real, got approval of my post chief and informed the team on post.
I would class myself as fit enough to do the job (31 years old and not overweight) I think the reason I do carry the bottles two handed (one on the carry handle, one on the base across the chest) is because I'm quite short (5ft. 4) With a locked arm the bottle isn't far off the floor on even ground, hitting the floor on uneven ground. It's always seemed the natural position, if that is wrong it's never come up.
