Lotion boy already covered this: you either pass the dead scooter to 
the third team member and the out of air diver gets YOUR SCOOTER and 
you get towed by him, or you ditch the dead scooter (if in a two man 
team) and give the out of air diver the working scooter and the donor 
gets towed, or if both scooters are fine the out of air diver keeps 
his scooter, the donor puts his in towing position, and gets towed 
out (that way if the ooa divers scooter dies he can then take the 
other still functioning scooter). I realize you don't go scootering 
much in caves since you seem to only come up to teach basic cave 
divers, so this might still be new to you, but it's really pretty 
basic. Yes, it's a change from how people thought 15 years ago, but 
then again people used to believe half+200 was the way to go too.
