  If they will shut down they should not be used in the first place. An 
overrelief valve on a primary regulator could be a death sentence. The seccond 
stage will freeflow on a proper , downstream second and tell you that the first 
is blown, so you canturn it off. On an argon bottle, there is no second stage, 
so you use an overrelief valve so you don't lose the hose or damage the drysuit 
valve. There is no there reason to do this, and there cetainly is no reason to 
use a bad reg, or a Jetstream, which makes no sense at all. Only a real rocket 
scientist would convince himself to use a reg with this much intermediate 
pressure or a regulator that could lock up.

  I love it when people tell me that gear config never killed anybody. How do 
you guys think people get screwed up enough under water to die in the first 
place? It is their shittly gear, sloppy congfig, lack of prepartation, bad 
attitiude, and appliction of stroekry that combine to do it. 

  Guess what - it is always the same people that do all of these things at
once. 
Finding solutions for problems you yourself have created is nuts.  -G
