You might want to make sure it will count as one appendage, not two. There's been a lot of discussion about this here and on Q&A. It's my understanding that a two pronged thingy is considered two appendages (and thus illegal) unless it's all one contiguous piece outside of the frame perimeter, even as it deploys.
