   Rich, reg failure in the off position would be a tough one to beat - should 
not happen unless you have upstrem valves. The freeflow loss usually gives you
a 
few breaths even on a low tank - that happened to me in Cayman - and this is 
when I finally gave up on USD regs, although I did use one yesterday, but it
was 
a reg I keep in the van to flush my drysuit with, not meant for diving, but I 
took it anyway. It has a Calypso second stage I got in 1974
