OK, butt-head, let me lay it out for you. If you have a second bladder you need an second corrugated hose which needs a second inflater (failure point) a second LP hose (failure point). And if you have a stuck inflater or leaky LP hose, how long will it take you to find it (clusterfuck point). And for those bozos who compensate for this by not putting a LP hose on the second inflator, I have to laugh in your face. Suckers! I've said it before and I will say it again, there is no advantage in dual bladders or bondage which make up for the drawbacks of the system. If you need a backup buoyancy system it should be a completely separate setup with no inter-related parts. Ideally it should have it's own function so you are not dragging around dead weight. This is called a drysuit. And if you think you need bondage for some sort of imaginary problem, then you are a sucker, a victim of marketing. Mike, it's time you come out of the closet, you either are using bondage or have one for sale to be defending this laughing stock of a POS BC.
