Hanging c/w off an open hook strikes me as really asking for a disaster.
Of course, as with all lighting and grip gear, safety is paramount. But I haven't had any issues with hanging a Boa bag on the sturdy hook built into the end of my boom. (That's what it's there for.) I typically elevate my boom higher than my (or anyone else's) head, so running into it isn't an issue. It hangs securely, and is much more easy to manage than either securing or lifting a fixed weight onto a boom. Perhaps it's because almost all of my studio sessions are on location (e.g. at schools or dance studios), but I just find it easier to manage that way. But again, safety is paramount, so whichever method you employ, just be safe with it.
