In all likelihood, do you think this is true? Have you ever heard of an attempt being made with this helium method failing?

It always blows off or leaks. Only the plastic bag, fastened at the neck, delivers the pure helium needed for a fast exit. If plastic bags are objectionable, then don't do it.

The bag could be smaller and just before the mask, you'd need a one way valve in the bag for an over flow dump from your tank. I just wouldn't like to be looking at the world for the last time through a plastic bag. A CPAP mask and head harness would be nicer than the bag.
