Look, Michael, I have said this before and I will say it again. I and nobody else gives a flying fuck how you configure yourself. Go ahead and use stuperwings, hell, if you're that paranoid why not use 2 sets of (in your case) stuporwings? I mean then you would be have 4X redundancy, right? Using your logic that would be twice as good as one set, right? So why don't you? Why stop at just dual bladders? What if the case burst on these super-de-duperwings? BOTH sets of bladders would be useless. Why don't you use 2 sets of these, Michael, huh, HUH? Comon man, I'm just a stupid bounce diver, explain this to me, oh dive god. Hey what if you run out of air, how will you fill these 4 bladders, well hell you'd better take along a pony with a H valve and 2 regs so you have a backup BC inflation system. Oh, and what if a shark carries away your mask? Better take 2 of those. And you need to access a knife no matter where your hands are, so you need one on your shoulder, belt and both legs. And what if you are adrift and the boat left you? Well, you need a tube, epirb, extra water and a VHF radio. OH NO! Your hungry while drifting at sea, better take some food bars with you! Don't forget a inflatable boat! A color TV, a generator! My god what if the helicopter which came to rescue you forgot it's lift basket, better equip yourself with a complete rappeling harness and an extra 50 of line, carabiners, and ascenders. You would be a stupid asshole if you didn't. So Michael, go ahead and don your double stuperwings, tranpack, and other happy horseshit, I could not care less. And if you are so tubular and blindered that you would rather listen to marketing people to decide how to equip yourself rather than people who actually dive, go right ahead. It's a free country, knock yourself out, dude. I have tried both methods and it did not take a 2X4 between MY eyes to recognize the best system.
