Jim, I do not think it would be that significant mainly because my isolator is fairly "tight" and is thus difficult to turn by casual contact. It is also canted towards my neck so my head would be the first thing to contact something solid. Lines are a different matter and perhaps the next para explains my reasoning on this. My experience on wrecks is predominantly limited to S FL where visibility is usually great (can't recall a wreck dive where vis wasn't at least 30-40') and entanglement hazards are rather slight. Also most of the wrecks down here tend to be of the artificial reef variety so much of the interior is relatively clean. Some exceptions of course. The only entanglements I have witnessed occur when a diver departs the wreck and is facing backwards to the direction of travel due to current. Always helps to look where one is going... Only had to whack my leg on a crows nest once for that lesson to sink in...
