Re: Should Rebreathers be Dummyproof?

Mark, I can't give you any more green yet but I would if I could.

If manual injection is too inconvenient for someone for a given task then maybe that diver or that task is not a suitable match for rebreather diving?

Maybe the question should be:
If it turns out that manual injection is the key to fostering safe habits, should all manufacturers be liable if they continue to produce automatic systems?

How about some other questions

Should we remove all safety devices and solenoids from CCRs thus making the units more reliable and the divers totaly responsible for their own survival?

If a unit is fitted with solenoids and computerized controllers is it wrong to expect them to fail safe as a minimum standard?

Should new CCR divers be forced to do at least 100hours on MCCR before being allowed to dive a ECCR?

Do ECCR lul divers into a false sense of security?

Does the technology really exist to make an idiot proof CCR?

Should ALL CCR be fitted with a industry standard sealed recording black box?
