But did you modify your pre-breathe checklist accordingly?

- Verify that string is securely tied to dsv.
- Verify that string is securely tied to brick.
- Verify that string is not longer than distance from dsv to your lap/floor.
- Verify tensile strength of string is adequate to support weight of brick.
- Verify that paramedics have been notified and are in route.
- Verify last will and testament has been recently updated.

I have since changed to a bungee cord and a large cinder block. This way it will also pull the DSV away from me. The string verifications are no longer valid.

My neighbor was the commander and chief of the deerfield beach fire dept and is my "lookout" if you will. Yes, he is also a trained paramedic.

My will is as updated as it will ever be. that was done 2 days after the Optima purchase.
