Can the Zebralight silicone holder be load bearing?

Inspired by varuscelli and his routing of the excess band to get more padding on the forehead, I changed the routing of the elastic band so that the silicone holder no longer just hangs from the band.
The point of this was to avoid the indentations you get in your forehead after wearing your Zebralight (H31Fw in my case) for 15 minutes or so.
(and I prefer the silicone on the forehead, not the band material)

So will the silicone holder hold up to the tension? or should I buy some extra?

I've yet to hear of a case of one of the holders breaking or wearing out. I'm not really sure that configuration puts much extra stress on the holder. It probably puts more stress on the headband itself since there's not as much play after the looping and the headband has to be stretched more to fit the head.
