It is indeed sad to hear of the recent tragedies in France. I am sure 
that everyone on the techdiver list joins in extending our thoughts for the 
friends and families of these fellow explorers.
When I read the accident report, I wondered about several aspects that 
might be worth examining in detail, to help us understand more about the 
problems the divers encountered: What was the flow? What kind of 
guideline is used in France and how is it tied off along the cave ? What 
was the configuration of the cave where the line entanglement happened? 
Was the line taught or slack? Such details and a discussion of them might 
help other divers avoid the problems that arose.

It's not the pace of life that concerns me -- 
it's the sudden stop at the end.
