Well, Tod, congratulations.  You have won the award for most stupid post of
the month.  And it has been a month of stupid posts.

NASA has hits and near misses.  Does that mean they are not safe?

DuPont has the most stringent safety protocols in industry, far above what
OSHA requires, yet they have hits and near misses.  Does this mean they are
not safe?

Lexus puts every new safety feature that comes out into their cars, yet they
still have hits and near misses.  Does this mean that they are not safe?

The WKPP is doing the highest volume of potentially high risk diving in the
world and they occasionally have hits and near misses.  That they do not
have several orders of magnitude more is a testiment to just how safe they
are.

As I have told several other big mouth, know it alls, come on down to the
big pond and see how it is done.  Then you can tell the world about unsafe
the WKPP is.  Until then, please sit quietly behind your keyboard with the
rest of the cyber divers.

Trout
