Guys, regardless of what Hunucker says in his accident report, we DO NOT let our buddies get far enough away from us that we can not find them immediately, and we do not get out of touching distance in a siltout. This accident is inexcusable strokery, and I don't care who thinks otherwise. If it happens in WKPP ( even if buddy makes it out ) and those people do not ever dive again anywhere near us. I am getting really sick of meally-mouthed bullshit and idiots . I think Chris Werner made it clear to everyone at the last meeting - we do not want our members diving with strokes or at strokepits. I forsee Jackson getting shut down because of the open access to undisciplined diving. In fact , if asked I would recommend that all caves be shut to open access due to this kind of crap ( which is what is taught by most cave instructors ) . My access to the caves I dive will not get shut down, because I will not let bullshit be conducted in them. Bullshit is strokes who can not stay with their buddies. PERIOD. Lose buddy , you lose access. That means live buddy or dead buddy. No excuses, you do it right or you don't do it with the WKPP. You leave buddy in cave, you did your last dive where I have the keys. I am sick at the number of dead people I know, and even sicker at the number of dumb ones who still live and dive. Now I know why they make electronic rolodexes - they need to give them out with the cave cards, just like they give out shovels with the Expiration Rebreather.
