The OP’s sited situation was slung, loaded, cocked and safety on. I’d say that scenario was a poor choice both upon the injured and for illustration.

None the less, if you’re slinging it, why have one up the spout? You’d be doing the hunters Macarana to get into a shooting situation anyways, so what’s the bit extra movement of cycling the action gonna matter?
