I wonder if periodic short term exposure to risk can decrease your longterm risk of accidents. I hope it does..

If it was my spear you better not hurt it or your going to buy me a new one, and if I shot him in the ass, he got in the way, or he was mouthing me on the boat about Deep Air Bounce diving.
Thanks, Mitch. I wondered about that, and figured that would be some tough stainless. I know a similar discussion ensued when a guy got shot with an arrow, and basically, they said cut it down to 8" so a bump wouldn't kill the guy. That pic had the guy shot in the eye.
I imagine whatever you do, you won't have it on the boat. That would be an interesting Mayday -- anyone got bolt cutters?
Of course, and cable cutters, angle and straight air die grinders with cutoff wheels, electric die and angle grinders with cutoff wheels, air arc gouger, plasma torch, broco torch, and if none of those work we'll just mean it out of him.
Having cut a few spear shafts down for various projects I do not think a set of bolt cutters is going to do anything to that you will need power tools.

So, if you are going to be hit by a spear, do so while on the Spree . . . .
