I think it is simply the best system yet devised for technical diving. It just was not the system these divers (or any OW divers) were taught to use. They need more training to use it properly. << What these people really needed was a "quick release" from their own ineptitude and ignorance. >> The reason the diver had to remove her equipment was that she was tired and unable to climb back onto the boat with all of that weight on. She simply was unfamiliar with this type of equipment. Ineptitude and ignorance can be fixed with experience and training. Good diving, Cpt.
