How's the retention? Would it stay in the sheath scout carry while running?

I got my wolf gray Tellus FX about a week ago and I absolutely love it, so much that I ordered the folding version. As far as the retention, the knife snaps into the sheath pretty good, there is a positive "click" sound when it goes in correctly, and it is very snug without much play or rattling. On the front of the sheath is a flat spot with jumping to press your thumb against to help in removing the knife. Having said that, I'm not sure I can say without any doubt that the knife would be 100% safe when running while "scout carrying". I don't generally carry in the scout position, and my honest opinion is that the knife would be ok and do well when carrying it scout style, I just can't say for sure nothing would ever happen if you were running alot while carrying that way. Too many variables and things that could happen. I'm sorry I couldn't be of more help with this. I can say that it is a hell of a knife for the price and I wouldn't hesitate buying it again.
