Re: Risk

I think the point that he is trying to make isn't that the specific act of starting a dive with a cell warning is going to kill you.

It is that people who are willing to dive with a warning are people whose "risk thermostat" is set a little higher than average. People who are willing to dive with several problems may have a very high risk thermostat. And people with a very high risk thermostat may be more likely to die on a rebreather.

And of course that would imply that they would also be more likely to die driving their car or climbing Mount Everest.
