If you want to relax, you take it off and keep it where you can see it.
That's different than what you said before: Common courtesy would dictate the removal of a backpack when standing still

Leave the backpack in your hotel and carry a daypack with things of little value: water, maps, umbrella, guidebook.
I had my shoulder bag unzipped several times in the Paris Metro until I took to carrying it in front with my arms crossed over it. Only lost a gastronomic guide that was in an outside pocket.

Standing still for a 10 minute metro ride and standing still on an escalator for 10 seconds are two different things
Obviously. But that's not what you said. I'm picturing someone whipping off their backpack every time they stop before crossing the street.
