While you are at it, produce documented proof that in all these recent deaths, OMS wings were in use by each and every one of these divers. If you wish to tie OMS wings in as a factor in all the deaths, then YOU better be prepared to prove that they were in use by all the divers at the time they died. Others don't have to prove that they work. Granted, because I use OMS wings you will probably consider me a "stroke" but: 1) I know what equipment works for me 2) I know what my abilities are and don't push those limits 3) I plan my dives and dive my plan 4) I practice for the unexpected (Murphy loves to dive too) While I've never faced a life and death situation in the water I have had minor, irritating "mishaps" that I've dealt with, learned from and practiced dealing with. I've faced enough "life and death" situations on land to learn and know that training with your equipment, being familier with your equipment and practice, practice, practice can mean the difference between life and death. Under stress, we humans revert to how we are trained/practice.
