Subject: Re: Inspiration death AGAIN!
Date: Sun, 18 Jun 2000 11:03:03 -0400
Karl, weight whatever you want, DEAD is DEAD. Go to the widows and tell them
the dead guys shouldn't have dived so much because it increased the
probability they would die.

    Karl's thesis: If you dive less-you have less chance of dying from
diving.

    My Thesis: You have a chance of dying if you dive, more if you dive a
rebreather that many other people have died using.

    There is an intersection in Tampa that gets the most accidents on a
yearly basis. You have a higher chance of getting into an accident if you
drive thru this intersection-less if you are a good diver,more if you drive
poorly. Fact is: if you drive thru there your chances of having an accident
are higher-EZ
