So what you're saying is that if you and your rig become separated, the 
rig is 20 pounds negative and you are 20 lbs posative?  Can't 
imagine ever needing to part company with your rig? Apparently you don't 
do much solo open-water diving. I can even think of one cave death that 
might have been prevented if both the diver and the rig were 
independently neutral.

Which is exactly why I think you should seriously reconsider the balance 
of your equipment, despite the many times you have gotten away with it.

Just think it through carefully before responding - that's all I ask.  

Also, please provide me with a list of *reasons* why bondage wings 
contribute to diver deaths any more than black fins do.

Thanks,
Rich
