Capt, JT

I have taken to touching each valve with my hand once im in the rig, but I open
the valves prior to gearing, actually i open them when i put the regs on so I
can
stand away a little and not take a first stage in the chest or back of the head,
if something fails catastrophically. I also push the purge button, or i try to
remember to, to avoid the hi pressure slam on the seats and I turn the spg
downward to avoid shrapnel in the face when it goes. Plus its easier to hear
small
leaks, and I can visually inspect things when pressurized.

regards,

Al Marvelli
