watch him make the gas switch.  Watch the reg come out of his mouth, the
second go in and the parking of the long hose.

Where buddy skills always go to hell is at the gas switches.  Position
yourself where you can see your buddy so you know he is fine, and vice
versus.  If you are trying to figure out if he is breathing the right gas
after the switch, YOU have screwed up.
