Hello,

You have some medical facts to back up this number of 12?  Also it would be
intersting to see how many died with 'dir equipment' but who made silly
mistakes and ended up dead.  Just like fighter planes.  The standards and
equipment is so advanced that mistakes, when they happen, are almost always
listed as 'pilot error'.

Ed

Ed, I think you're right.  After all, no one has ever died on an
Inspiration, and the newspapers are full of people who have croaked
using the DIR method.  I think I'll sell all my DIR gear and just get
an inspiration.

In all seriousness, just look at the death toll.  That number alone
should make it clear why your little joke about DIR is not funny, and
why people call it the Buddy desperation or the Buddy Expiration.

I believe the death toll is at 12 now, on the Inspiration.

I don't need much more than this:

Buddy Inspiration : 12
DIR : Zero


Next....
