I still think that correlation of # RB fatalities vs. number of rebreathers sold is worthless, though. Case in point: my Sport KISS currently collects dust and doesn't stand a chance of killing anyone if it stays dry

The fatality data is just the first step. What is needed is traceable data. Some manufacterers will be more helpful in providing that than others. Anyhow, this discussion will happen on various analysis threads once we complete this first stage.
Just a reminder, we need data on Draeger accidents, any info on the "unknown divers" listed, and the gaps in the Inspo and Evo lists.
By pooling our knowledge, we can get a traceable list that everyone can use, albeit anonymised as for the diver's name, that may be the stimulus needed to avoid further recurrent accidents.
