I don't think backpacks on your back are safe in city situations. Its
a system designed for the wilderness adopted by city travelers, its
vulnerable to thieves and you constantly annoy people by turning and
bashing them with it.
If you do use one you need to secure the entry points. Some go as far
as wire netting liners.
