Those are similar to the Lowepro Slingshots -- and the Slingshots are
great for what they do, but not well suited to carrying any sort of
heavy load for a long time (more than a couple of hours, roughly).
Actually, the Velocity 9 looks even larger, so you'd have even more
chance to have it hurt.
I've got a Slingshot 100, which currently takes my E-1 kit very nicely:

but having taken it along in the bag on a walk for a few hours, I
found that I needed to switch the bag between shoulders after a while
because all the load going on one shoulder was too much, and while
there's a cross-strap as well as the main one, the secondary strap is
just to keep things in place, not to take load like a belt pack.
Fortunately, the Slingshot does hang from the 'wrong' shoulder okay,
it's just a bit lop-sided feeling when it does, and until the point
where it becomes uncomfortable, it's great, the swing-to-the-front
opening is really convenient.
And if you'd be putting OM kit into this, you'll be fine -- it's only
because E-1 stuff is that much bigger and heavier that it got to me.
