The fatality data is just the first step.
AD, I really commend your team for collecting all the data in such a thorough fashing. But the obstacles you meet due to the very nature of the fatal accidents, got me thinking....
Does the OR-team do any analysis and crosscheck of non-lethal accidents?
Currently it seems only the lethal accidents are in focus.
I think that all the near misses where the diver and equipment are available for interviews is a very valid source of safety information. Though as I have just written elsewhere, the reporting would benefit of a more structured approach.
The problems are ofcourse wich accidents to check and wich not to, but still a dangerous situation not covered by your FMCA would be valuable?
As I think this is valid for all manufactures, an open approach would be nice, and as such Rebreather World is a good place to start looking.
