DANGER - Valves - more legislation

I found a helpful article on Divernet. Just what we need, the Standards do-gooders inventing a solution for a non existent problem. They seem to be the same the world over!

Duly signed, as if the government will take any notice!! Their speciality seems to be inventing solutions for problems that don't exist... they're currently trumpeting a new law they're introducing to prosecute people for "minding" firearms for criminals... obviously desperately needed as the police/courts couldn't possibly prosecute them for possession of an illegal firearm could they?... Oh yeah, they already do don't they!!

Although this is perceved as an EU bag of shite, I was told a while back, on good authority that once again, the UK was involved in setting the whole M26mm valve thing in motion, one name that cropped up was Martin Parker ?

I work in the Electrical contracting industry, the UK has been involved in many things that have been seen as EU crap, harmonization of cable colours for one.

Hello,

Different valves for EAN and Trimix? Probably should also have different valves for Air and different valves for pure O2... might as well add different valves for hypoxic Trimix and normoxic Trimix, and add a set of valves for EAN with O2 concentrations above 40%.

That will make everyone safe as can be.

Of course everyone will use adapters to avoid having to purchase dedicated regs and whips.... which will negate any benefit and probably cause more deaths.... (if we somehow assume there was a benefit in the first place).

If you make a more idiot proof system the world will just produce better idiots.
