The narc management is a good idea in itself, but we still have gas on our backs for a problem that would require a clear head. The real deal is the lack of damage from the nitrogen when helium is present, the decompression advantage of helium over nitrogen, and the ease of breathing helium-based gasses for long exposures which reduces lung loading, fatigue, irritation, swelling, and co2 buildup in the tissues and hence is inherently safer from an oxtox and overall oxygen damage perspective. Jablonski and Mee use helium in the 50% mix as well.
