Ok, joking aside, I think there's far too much of the 'Rebreather's will kill you' talk, mostly on unfounded information or rumours that get out of hand/exagerated. As far as I know, there hasn't been a death that can be attributed to a fault with an RB unit, but mostly down to user error/bad training/lazyness. You can die on OC if you've had bad training or if the user is lazy/incompetent.

It doesnt matter if the units are faultless, thats not the point.
Humans will
always make mistakes and will
always get complacent (its human nature)..even the best do - as we have seen
OC is more forgiving of mistakes and complacency than a Rebreather if for no other reason than its simpler.
IMO unless you have a
real need for one (deep dives or overheads, where the benefit of extended gas outweigh the risks) Id keep well away!! Just my opinion - nobody has to agree.
