Wouldn't it stand to reason, if these things killed so many people
due to poor inflation (due to the bungees) that the back-up bladder
(back-up inflation) would be a good thing :-)  (if the bungees were 
removed) ???

Sorry, its just too easy to play devil's advocate when the debate is
so obviously based on rhetoric.

Me, I don't use 'em... my buoyancy is close enuf to neutral
I don't care about making it redundant, so I consider the extra
hose a potential hassle... but that could easily be stowed on the
right shoulder harness d-ring, just like the DIR retainer
for the normal inflator.. or stowe it down the backplate
only to be retrieved in emergency.

So just to separate the arguments out... is it the bondage, or
the redundancy that bothers the anti-OMS wings crowd?

Couldn't resist,
Mike
