Subject: CONTINUOUS REBREATHER DEATHS was Re: Death was a Bigot
Scatssa - you need to wake up. The thing does not work, it is a copy of
a copy of a failed design that has long since been discovered and
corrected. There have been SIX incidents REPORTED, THREE DEATHS, and you
want to argue. The machine is a piece , needs to be recalled, and needs
to be discontinued. The perpetrators need to be jailed, in my opinion.

The perpetrators are low riders enough  to call the divers
"incompetent". They died on that machine, following that training and
that certification.

I am tired of hearing little quips from anonomous yaps who want to be
fair to the Reaper. You need to start telling the truth. These machines
have another fifty horror stories of failed electronics, they are
basiscly unusable by those who bought them, and it is time they all came
forward and threw this crowd under the bus .

The only difference bewteeen this thing and the other similar fakes and
copies of failed nonsense is that they are more widely distributed, and
less restricted as to their use. Let the others get out there and there
will be a photo finish at the body count line before it is finally
stoped by the authorities.
