I agree with Ogsplash.
When you need them you can never have enough of beacons. My preference is for one stuck in a shirt or pants pocket if not wearing a vest. The other pocket has an ACR firefly strobe.
My theory is that if you do survive and are trapped it is still within reach. Also agree that watching your fixed elt go up in smoke would be very depressing.
If flying in a multi crew machine ensure the rest of the crew know you are carrying a personal ELT in a pocket as they may find it useful even if you have expired.
I worked with one guy who had a motor vehicle accident on a country road and was trapped. He found it frustrating to have the phone ringing but just out of reach. Took 24 hours to find him.
Will check with an AMSA contact as to registering 406 Meg beacons to an individual not a hull.
