Hello Christian:

The point was that it will go quickly.  I know of one instance where the
entire side of a 1st stage blew off at ~270 due to either a defective part
or a servicing error and the guy went from ~2700 psig to 700 psig in as much
time as it took to close the side down.  A wrong turn in this case would
mean he was OOA at depth.  The 700 was plenty of gas for him to make a
normal ascent and get on deco gas.

Regards.

Joe
