blacknet once bubbled...
In no way did I ever make any form of attack against anyone. You, or anyone else for that matter, have no right to make attacks like this. Lets not resort to low intelligence babbling and character attacks. I can not help it that you are so blinded by stupidity and unable to comprehend my post. When you mature enough to the point of providing us with enlightening conversation then please feel free to make further post. This goes for the rest of the posters who slammed my post.
It may be impossible if the person has a properly routed hose but how many out there has a properly routed hose. Perhaps the idiot that was strangled wasnt used his equipment properly? I do know this; the OOA diver did approach from a rear blind spot and the donor never seen it coming, nor did he have time to stop it.

If the hose wasn't routed properly, then it isn't accurate to state that a properly routed hose would have caused a problem.
Its not surprising that you embellished your story using what I posted as the source of the problem. Because you are repeating what you heard from others and needed to fill in credibility gaps.
As for the number of people who have the hose properly routed, I've yet to see one done wrong. Of course, I try not to dive with people who don't know how to wear their equipment.
Even if the diver were to yank the hose left and up, it would still be possible, albeit unconfortable, to reach a properly secured backup. They you could deal with the panicked diver, by main force if necessary to prevent an uncontrolled ascent or other dangerous situation.
It sounds like this "report" is fourth hand hearsay from the local contingents of "Darwin for Divers".
As for the rest of your post, I'll suggest that my response was entirely appropriate as it responded to a foolish troll. I'm mature and experienced enough to now that you are lying through your teeth.
If I'm wrong, post names, dates, places the circumstances of the accident. Describe the weather conditions, water conditions and the circumstances that caused the "incident." Otherwise, you're just another internet cyber diver.
After further consideration of the problem, I note that a traditional hose routing would have caused the same problem, which, if it actually happened, was caused by a person who should not have been in the water in the first place.
Finally, don't feel any need to try to tell me where and when I can post. Cyber divers like you always feel threatened when their little cyber worlds are called into question. The solution is for you to go do a really challenging (for you) 60 fsw dive and get some actual experience.
