Sharkey, I believe you and I are somehow circling the same point here.
That dunk tank is available for everyone to practice in. If I raced, I'd be doing it blindfolded, with my feet and hands bound, until I felt comfortable enough to sleep in it submerged... When I dive, I'll swap regulators a dozen times at depth for chitz and giggles It just comes second nature for me now. Last dive in KW I'm setting at 50 ft swapping reg's, guess who appears in front of me flashing the OK signal? That canopy is there to save lives. Everything that goes along with it should be setup to keep you alive until they cut you out if need be. If not, I'll take my chances skipping across the water and dodging props... Ten minutes might be nothing in a situation where a couple boats get into a hard collision, and you find yourself wrapped up in fiberglass and wires. I think the overall statistics on the canopy's is probably just slightly better than 50/50 right now wouldn't you say? Diving equipment has advance a good bit since that 1995 article. Full face masks with integrated regulators are affordable, have comm's, and still work if your unconscious. Don't top fuel hyrdro's run a similar setup? Once again, it's time for the silence to be lifted and let those involved in these messed up situations come to the table and help solve the problems. It's like that in every other motor sport. Look at the HANS device. No one adopted it until Dale senior died, now everyone is wearing them because it saves lives.... -K |

Getting charged money is punishment, that's the idea. It's up to the defendant/offender whether he wants to improve conditions or continue down the same path. Pretty simple concept.
