The video takes the viewer through the incident, explaining how it came about and the lessons that can be learnt. Whilst the video is primarily aimed at rebreather divers, there are issues such as bail-out gas consumption, team size and rescue that may be useful to all divers.

Im also intimidated by the enourmous ammount of electronics and technology needed to make an airplane fly. Still it is a pretty safe way to travel once people knew how to build it right. I'm pretty sure that rebreathers will become as safe as airplanes soon. If programmed built correctly they can become very safe. Because electronics always think fast and clear. Thats at least my opinion.

nobody dies, so its not an incident...

its like electricity, once you know more about them, theory, science and proper operation/maintanance it tends to be less frightening. but the mis-trust and caution always serves well in preserving you alive. Those that get cocky never get a second chance to learn from their mistakes.

Rebreathers scare the shit outta me. I'll stick to open-circuit.
