Hi!  My name is Amy Winters and I'm a new subscriber to the tech list.  =
I'm a 26 year old diver with about a year of practical experience diving =
(that is to say - I've been certified for much longer but it took me a =
while to find a group of instructiors who taught the things I wanted to =
learn and taught them responsibly and safely).  I'm facinated with =
technical diving and look forward to the information those who have more =
experience than I can provide.

I do have a few questions - exactly how many people have died using OMS =
wings.  The only death people discuss is the one that has been bought up =
in the recent threads.  Also, no one has seemed to have answered the =
question about whether there is any scientific data to back up the =
opinion that "bondage wings are evil".  I realize that personal opinion =
holds a great deal of weight, however I would like to here some factual =
information too.  The reason why I'm asking is because I dive OMS wings =
and I actually really like them.  I've never had a problem with the =
wings themselves (I did have a slight inflator hose problem - luckily I =
had my 2nd inflator hose - which also seems to be a point of contention =
among divers.)  I hope no one take offense to this line of questions - I =
really am interested in hearing about any problems associated with the =
OMS wings.  Being a mere infant to the technical diving world - I do =
value the opinions of those who have much more experience.

I look forward to hearing from everyone!

Amy
