Slip Tips and Powerheads?

Hello,

Does anyone out there have any actual experience using Powerheads while Bluewater Diving and also using a Slip Tip?

I'm considering getting a Powerhead for an emergency only situation.. but I keep running into atleast two concerns.

1. I dive with a Slip Tip. It seems likely that as you add a Powerhead to a Slip Tip in what would probably be an energetic situation, you would increase the chance that the Tip will fall off leaving you hanging?

2. It would seem more than possible to have an emergency situation after having shot a fish and thus not having a shaft in place to use the Powerhead with?

I'm sure I'm not the first one to cross this bridge. I'm most interested to gather insight and suggestions from people who have actual experience with either of these scenarios.

Thanks
