Richard,

Things do not happen "out of nowhere". Inflators coming apart most certainly
come down to bad equipment inspection, servicing and operation. Also the
particular design is something not to overlook. All these questions about
wingfailure...buy a decent (read Halcyon) wing and you will have piece of
mind. Chances you will have a wing failure are hereby reduced to the
absolute minimum.
Proper care of your equipment will reduce the chances for wingfailure even
further.
BTW the biggest problem with bcd's is that the connection between the
bladder and inflator hose breaks loose. Halcyon owners all know who well
this problem is taken care of.

Do yourself a favor...

Best,

THOMAS
