I'll spare you all the mental gymnastics that led me to this question, but...

Has anyone looked at the numbers of OC (tech) fatalities vs. eCCR fatalities froma statistical point of view? I would be curious to know if there really ARE more fatalities or if is only seems to be more, since it is a smaller subcommunity.

I don't really care!
In every forum, in every manner, everyone, anytime etc... start a thread like this one. Death there, accident there, drawnig there,CCR more dangerous,OC safer,...
You know how many fantastic dives and activities and POSITIVE points a rebreather has? Start with them.

About the danger to dive rebreathers? Yes it COULD be dangerous, exactly like to ride a motorbike at 300km/h on a highway instead of 120km/h:
if you don't like risk keep going with OC
if you don't like big risks then go with CC but stay away from the limits
if your personal target is more important than the calculated risks then push the limits
if you wish a suicide take a CCR,an OC, a motorbike or whateverelse and push constatly the limits.

Best,
Nad
