Hi all,

We all know Sheck Exley's Accident Analysis that was so useful in decreasing the number of accident in the cave diving community. The idea was to find out the most common factors in the cave diving fatalities. The causes were several times redefined but are pretty much the famous:
- Lack of Training
- Lack of a continuous guideline
- Not enough gas
- Too deep for the mix
- Lack of 3 lights

Obviously that doesn't match with the rebreather diving fatalities that occured in the last few years. It would be great if the rebreather diving community could find a similar list of causes.
Some ideas could also be: Complacency and distraction (cf Tom Mount's last book), exceeding physiological limits (O2, N2, etc), equipment failure...

So what's your list of causes and their order of importance?

Cheers

It could be a good idea.
Have a look at www.ccrb.co.uk, it is the Ouroboros site, on the Our Rebreather button, design fundamentals you can find something useful. It is specially made for Boris from the designer but I think it has many problems included.
