Hmmmm,
A little ambiguous,'oxygen providing rebreather equipment' could (and probably does) imply just the hand sets.
My two concerns here then (and I talk from experience) would be handsets swithing themselves off (bounce) ...... know your PPO2 aside.
Where does this bouncing come from ?? I read the report and it seems to be quite clear.
"The report stated that because Mr Lees' electronic handsets were not turned on, "
It didn't say that the handsets where not working ...
I don't think questioning FACTS is helping anyone here. I'm constantly hearing that NO results are published after accidents. But be honost, if I'm seeing that even reports are immidiately being pulled out off proportions I don't think we can expected an increase in these communications.
Just my 2cents
