I remember an accident wich resulted in a severe case of DCS because of a stuffed hose. The regs flush function was actuated by an inflating Wing bladder, the gas loss was noticed to late. the diver could not inflate further and dropped to 90m before he was able to switch to his secondary, only after donning of his rig partially, then he dumbly depreesed his power inflator, and shot himself to the surface, could not reach his release, rig floating above him , dragging him up.... Only one danger of stuffing. others : coming offstuffed unnoticed, once off, difficult to restuff. If hog hose nags you, why don't you drop down head first ?
