Those liftbags consistently fail along the RF-welded upper seam.  I've
had five fail and know of about six others that have also failed.
Aside from the design/manufacturing problems, they require you
disconnect your inflation to shoot them.  I don't like the idea of
disconnecting my inflation while hovering over deep water.  I suggest
you avoid those lift bags completely.  I now use and recommend to my
students only Carter open liftbags exclusively.
