<html><div>Hank,</div>

<div>If you follow my posts at all you know that I answer resonable
questions with a reasonable reply.  I have to admit that I can not
put a percentage on it.  It may have been the sole reason.  But
it also may have been a contributing factor.  I do know that Richard
was NOT runing a line.  He was also found in the main hallway
leading from the first class lounge.  I was of the impresion that
the location he was found was on the same level that he entered. 
Also following "lines" for about 100' before getting disorented
or lost is not what I would call any acomplishment!!  In fact I
would call such a performance dismal at best.  But I do not know
that is what happened.</div>
<br>
<div>Although I don't see any problem with penitrating solo, I have done
solo wreck penitration well below 200', the fact that he did not have a
buddy present means that no living person KNOWS exactly what
happened.  My bet is that he blacked out then sucked his back gas
dry.  I doubt that he had any idea that there was any thing
wrong.</div>
